Doug Koomson, Mike Sartor and Justin Staffiere are the three organizers of the HK Student Society Tri4Life event, which takes place March 30 at the St. Denis Centre.
Growing up in Ghana, Doug Koomson used to play soccer as much as he could. He got pretty good at it, and by the time he moved to Oakville, Ontario, his favourite sport became a great way to break down barriers that can make it difficult for new Canadians to integrate.
