The Victor Davis Memorial Fund

The Victor Davis Memorial Fund was established to remember Victor, his contribution to competitive swimming in Canada, and to encourage other young Canadians toward excellence. Each year awards may be made from the Fund to promising, high performance Canadian amateur swimmers to assist them to continue their training, education, and pursuit of medals at the international level of competition.

Since its inception, the Victor Davis Memorial Fund has awarded dozens of athletes with bursaries to aid in their training costs. A great percentage of these athletes have gone on to become members of Team Canada, with many of them going on to represent Canada at the Olympics and other International events.
