Harry Hardy
Harry James Hardy was a long-time volunteer who started with Tetra in 1994. He applied his electrical engineering skills and created 367 devices and assisted on hundreds of others. For many in Tetra’s vast community of coordinators, volunteers, and clients, when we think about Tetra, especially in BC, Harry comes to mind first.
A few of his many achievements included:
- Tetra Society’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010
- France’s Legion of Honor
- British Flying Cross
- Canada’s Sovereign Medal for Volunteers
- BC Community Achievement Award

Bryce Clarke
Bryce was a police offer with the Edmonton Police Service since 1998 and was one of only two quadriplegic police officers working in Canada. He was an Acting Detective in the Downtown Division where he oversaw the Offender Management Program. He has been connected with Tetra Alberta since 2016 when looking for help to modify a snowplow that allows him to clear his own driveway. His aim as a Board member for Tetra Alberta was to help others overcome obstacles and make their daily lives a little easier. Bryce was also Vice-Chair for SCI Alberta and served as a Council member on Alberta’s Premiers’ Council on the Status of Persons with Disabilities.
Terry LeBlanc
The Disability Foundation was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Terry LeBlanc on December 19, 2022. Terry’s impact on the Disability Foundation, our affiliated Societies, and the disabled community is immeasurable. He was a mentor to so many and was always available to share his experiences in the hope that they might help others.
Terry loved having conversations with friends, whether in a garden or overlooking the water at Jericho Beach. He was an avid gardener, a competitive sailor, and ASABC’s top sip ‘n’ puff sailor. Terry had a great sense of humour and was a devoted Canucks fan. His leadership resonated throughout all of the Foundation’s societies, as he played a pivotal role in creating the Disability Foundation, served on multiple boards for many years, and contributed to the development of the Martin 16 sailboat and the sip ‘n’ puff device.
