The Story of the Award
Elizabeth Buckley was born and raised in Ireland. She left Ireland in 1966 to make Canada her home. Throughout her life Elizabeth was a devoted Butler Irish dance parent and an enthusiastic supporter of Irish cultural events.
Elizabeth was also a friend of London's orthopedic community for many years. Through her long and devoted service, she worked tirelessly on behalf of several of London's orthopedic surgeons and their patients. Her last position before returning to Ireland was as Administrative Assistant at the Fawler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic. Elizabeth's friends in the orthopedic community are honoured to be able to provide this trophy to a deserving student in her name, reflecting her love of Ireland and its national dance. Elizabeth died of cancer in 1998.
