Bruce Kidd

Academic leader and Olympian Bruce Kidd’s victories include winning numerous national and international track-and-field medals, enshrining athletes' rights in Canada, and eradicating discrimination in sporting communities around the world. His undergraduate career as a student of economics at UC was concurrent with an amateur athletic career that took him to the 1962 Commonwealth Games and the 1964 Olympic Games.

Kidd is a longtime member of the Canadian Olympic Association, and he is the only person to be twice inducted into the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame. He served as dean of U of T’s Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Health for 19 years and moved on to positions as the Warden of Hart House and U of T vice-president and principal of U of T Scarborough.
