Larry Feagan, District Sales Manager Subaru Western Canada, became the Chair of Triathlon BC in June 2019. He has been a Director at Large for Triathlon BC since 2011. He has been very active, involved in many committees, especially the Gala subcommittee. He is dedicated to the growth and well-being of the sport and in his new role has built good rapport with Triathlon Canada and other key partners. We interviewed him over the phone in early April.
