Phil Kay commented after receiving the award, « I feel very honoured and humbled at the same time. I believe I was eligible for this award due to God putting me at an institution where He clearly has a plan for growth and has put a fantastic staff in place to make the growth happen. It seems like this might be the first time this award has been given to a person working at a Canadian institution. It has been thrilling to work in a place where God is so clearly leading. We have much to be thankful for at Tyndale and it is gratifying to be recognized for participating in that work. I am very appreciative of these kind words and also take them as a challenge to continue to do better in all areas. »
Well done!
