On behalf of the PAR-Q+ Collaboration, we are pleased to announce that Alis Bonsignore recently won the Canadian Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (CACPR) Student award.

The CACPR is the national leader in cardiovascular disease prevention and rehabilitation. The CACPR offers prestigious Student Research Awards on an annual basis with the winners presenting their abstracts at the annual symposium. These awards are funded by the Cardiac Health Foundation of Canada. In 2014, two national awards (one Masters and one PhD level) were given.
