Description

The school has 400 students and is the feeder school to Rick Hansen Secondary. Eugene Reimer Middle School opened its doors in September 2002. In our short existence, we have distinguished ourselves from other schools in academics, athletics and the arts. Little is known about this local hero and we at Eugene Reimer Middle School would like to share his story with you. From 1968, until his retirement from sports in 1980, Eugene amassed over 50 national and 22 international medals, 10 of which were Olympic! He participated and excelled in prestigious world events, such as the International Paralympics, PanAm Wheelchair Games, and B.C. Wheelchair Games. In 1972, Eugene set new world records at the Paralympic Games in Heidelberg, Germany, by taking gold medals in both discus and pentathlon, and a silver medal for the 4 x 60 m relay. Eugene was named "Canadian Outstanding Male Athlete of the Year" in 1972, the first time that such a level of recognition had been awarded to an athlete with a disability. In 1974, he was awarded the Order of Canada medal for his "inspiring example to the handicapped". In 1991, the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame and Museum presented Eugene with the W.A.C. Bennett Award, in recognition of his special contribution to the Province of B.C. In 2000, Eugene was inducted into the Terry Fox Hall of Fame. Later that same year the Eugene Reimer Award was established. This award is presented annually and recognizes a British Columbian who makes an outstanding contribution in the field of sport, recreation, or physical education for persons with disabilities. Abbotsford’s own Eugene Reimer was honoured as the inaugural recipient. On May 2nd, 2002, Eugene was inducted into the B. C. Sports Hall of Fame.
