The recipient of a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Rotary Club’s Paul Harris Fellow, a representative at Prime Minister Harper’s Round Table, and an honourary veteran, are some of the things 16-year-old Michael Pratt has already accomplished.
A Grade 11 Student at Brookswood Secondary, Pratt has made headlines for co-founding the 91Ô´´ Youth for the Fallen Walk to Remember with his sister at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum to honour the Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan.
At school, he is a provincial champion in French public speaking and has maintained at least a 90 per cent average since Grade 8.
Named the male athlete of the year for the three years he has been at Brookswood, Pratt is a red belt in karate who participates in soccer, track, and cross country.
His skill in basketball has seen him named team captain, chosen for all-star teams, and invited to participate with an elite basketball travel team and at the Basketball BC regional training centre.
