The Dr. Tom Pashby Sports Safety Fund was founded to promote the prevention of eye, spinal cord and other debilitating injuries occurring in sports and recreational activities, through public education, research, development of prevention programs and the monitoring of the effectiveness of such programs.
Dr. Pashby is a world-renowned ophthalmologist who has been involved in sport safety issues for many years. He has published papers on sport safety in numerous professional journals and delivered speeches on safety issues in sport throughout the world.
Through his untiring efforts it became mandatory for minor hockey players to wear CSA certified face protectors, eliminating lost eyesight among Canada.s youth hockey players. Having completed this project, Dr. Pashby has now turned his attention and expertise towards other catastrophic sports injuries.
Dr. Pashby has received many honours for his volunteer contribution in the sport safety field. He is also a member of the Order of Canada.
