Nominator's Comments:" Tony has for some years regularly biked and canoed.  Tony walks regularly to and from work and during his lunch hour.  He eats a very healthy diet.  Tony demonstrates what regular exercise can do.  Tony has  used exercise as a component in weight and blood pressure control.  He receives those benefits as well as the many other associated benefits.  I've noticed that Tony maintains his healthy life style despite a few accidents and the sometimes inclement New Brunswick weather!
