CanadaQBank.com Sponsors Yves Sikubwabo, a Champion

Distance Runner from Ottawa, Canada

Since 2008, CanadaQBank.com has devoted its resources to fostering the dreams of Canada's talented

youth. It is in the spirit of that commitment, CanadaQBank.com is proud to announce that it will be

sponsoring Yves Sikubwabo, a rising star in the long distance running world.

Currently a student at the University of Guelph, the 20-year-old Sikubwabo was named the 2012 CIS

Rookie of the Year. He first came to Canada from Rwanda, in order to take part in the world junior track

and field championship in Mocton, N.B. Despite having less than $200 in his pocket, he stayed in Canada

after deciding that it was too dangerous for him to return to his homeland after the competition was

over.

After spending some time living on the streets, Sikubwabo was taken in by hi s new "family" in Ottawa,

who invited him to stay in their home after only one meeting. Once he began attending the University of

Guelph, he became a leading member of the school's track and field team, with whom he participated in

the 2013 CIS cross-country championships.

Sikubwabo once said in an interview, "Everything I've been able to do in my life, it has happened

because of running." After both his mother and father were killed in the 1994 Rwandan genocide,

Sikubwabo went to live with a poor aunt who sold bananas in the Rwandan countryside. Because the

nearest school was 11km away and the family had no money for bus fare, the young orphan would run

to and from school every day to get his education.

CanadaQBank.com is proud to partner with Sikubwabo on his continuing journey of athletic and

personal excellence. The company believes that his powerful story of overcoming the odds and his can -

do spirit can be an inspiration to everyone, and is looking forward to being a part of his future success.
