Cornwall - May 1, 2012 - CFL football star-turned TSN broadcaster Matt Dunigan will deliver a speech at the Team Cornwall Annual General Meeting on Thursday May 10th at 7:30 am, at the Ramada Inn and Conference Centre.

“Matt Dunigan is a familiar face to many Canadians, and we are fortunate to have such an accomplished athlete and influential broadcaster speak at our meeting,” says Gilles Latour, Chair of Team Cornwall. “Mr. Dunigan has a connection to Cornwall - he is the former teammate of Ramada Inn owner and Team Cornwall member Scott Lecky. The two played together for the B.C. Lions.”

“Matt is somebody who has taken what life has given to him, set goals and reached those goals,” says Scott Lecky. “He certainly was a motivational leader in the locker room. I am sure that he will have a lot of entertaining stories about learning from both success and failure.”
