Don Lewis, paramount at BCI for three years, has now has taken up that title at TISS.

The Recorder and Times spoke with Lewis to about what it's like to turn over to a rival school, major upcoming TISS events including the all-Ontario track and land championships that will bring thousands of athletes to the city next treat someone to, and how he stays connected to students.

Q. What was it like to transfer to a combat school?

A. I don't like to look at it as rivals. We can be rivals on the athletic hockey, but certainly not in terms of what we're trying to do - provide the best knowledge we can for all our students.

We do have some students who are moving from one school to another, maybe between semesters or dialect mayhap spend a year at one school. It's because we offer a lot of programs that complement each other.

It's a congenial rivalry from an athletic point of view. But from an academic drift of view, we try to complement what each other is doing.
