Matt Douma

Douma, a product of 108 Mile Ranch, B.C., was the Cascades' top male rower from 2004 to 2006, achieving unprecedented results.

Most notably, he and teammate Gareth Newcombe became the first Cascades rowers to earn selection to the prestigious Head of the Charles regatta in Boston in 2005, where they finished second to Harvard University in the men's double. Douma also turned in outstanding performances with Newcombe at the Canadian University Rowing Championships, winning the B final in 2004, and qualifying for the A final in 2005. He was subsequently named the Cascades' male student-athlete of the year in 2006.

A Bachelor of Science in Nursing graduate, Douma has gone on to an accomplished career and further education in that field, and has earned plaudits for innovative research.
