History
Lindsay Park Sports Society (LPSS) received $250,000 from the 1983 Western Canada Summer Games to be used for the benefit of LPSS and Talisman Centre.
The Legacy Fund was established to provide bursaries to amateur athletes, support sport competitions and provide specialized training equipment at Talisman Centre.
In 2012 LPSS renamed the fund in honour of John Currie, President of the 1983 Western Canada Summer Games and launched a fundraising campaign to increase the value of the Legacy Fund to $1 million.
Fundraising Campaign Objectives
- Honour an important champion of amateur sport and community builder central to the creation of Talisman Centre.
- Increase the value of The John Currie Amateur Sport Legacy Fund to $1 million.
