Anyone who’s attended a youth soccer tournament in Simcoe recently has more than likely come across Brian Suggett.

That’s because he’s volunteered his time to every such tournament going back as far as 1996. It’s all part of his 40 years of volunteering with youth soccer in Simcoe that was recently recognized by Norfolk County.

“We thank Brian for his remarkable service, leadership and lasting impact on youth soccer,” said Mayor Amy Martin.

During his 40 years of volunteering, Suggett has taken on a variety of roles as convener, coach, president, treasurer and more.

But for the longtime volunteer, it was all a labour of love.

“I do this because I love the game,” he said.

Suggett thanked his fellow volunteers and expressed optimism that more people will join the effort to help youth soccer in Simcoe continue to grow and be successful into the future.
