The Gayton Family Award
The Gayton Family Leadership Award in Recreation (formerly known as the Robert Gayton Leadership Award) was created to recognize UBC students who have demonstrated leadership, sense of fair play and active community building through long-standing participation in one or more UBC Recreation programs.
The Gayton Family Award honours Robert (Bob) Gayton, a former member of the UBC Rowing team and the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Bob, who served as President of the Bachelor of Commerce Student Society in 1962, cherished his time participating in intramurals as a student. He established this award to provide current UBC students with additional financial support, enabling them to engage in extracurricular activities.
