DURHAM-GFC - Key Persons

Brian Farmer, one of the founding members, is widely known as one of Canada's godfathers of Gaelic games at the national and international level. Brian came to Canada in 1975, served as Chairman of the Canadian County Board for over 18 years and has spent a lifetime promoting the GAA in Canada. It is safe to say that the Durham Robert Emmets would not exist without Brian's passion and commitment to the club, through sponsorship, management, recruitment and his continued and ongoing support of the club. Durham quite literally would not be blue and white without Brian Farmer. Brian was deservedly honoured as Toronto Irish Person of the Year in March 2006.
