"It was a privilege for me to work with Master Lee to have Taekwondo recognized and included as an Olympic sport. But this is only one of his many accomplishments. As a proud Canadian of Korean heritage, he has been an ambassador for Canada on numerous trade missions and been recognized for his humanitarian work and social leadership."

"For a quarter century you have been a great inspiration to so many residents of Ottawa. Whether you are assisting the police, or raising funds for a charity like CHEO, or assisting with a local School Advisory Committee, you are a role model for all of our fellow citizens.
One of the great highlights of my terms as Mayor of Ottawa was to be honoured with a Black Belt (3rd DAN) in 1999. (I still have the splinters in my hand to prove I broke the board!)."
