MERRIT BLAIR

I am a graduate of StFX University where I studied Business Administration and played varsity rugby. StFX is also where I met Ashton. After graduation I moved back to my hometown, Ottawa, and began my career as a analyst with Employment and Social Development Canada. As an advisor with Ashton Dickson Youth Empowerment I plan to honour Ashton’s memory as a hard working athlete by encouraging young student athletes in our community to build confidence through sport and to strive to find balance between academics and athletics.
