Superintendent Heinz A. J. Kuck, M.S.M. (ret’d)
Toronto, Ontario
Heinz Kuck, a retired superintendent of the Toronto Police Service, takes on arduous physical challenges to draw attention to the hardships endured by members of his community. His endurance exploits have ranged from mountain climbing, dog sledding and paddling, to pushing a 300-pound steel sled through the streets of Toronto. In addition to raising funds and food donations, the challenges symbolically reflect the struggles of victims of crime, inner-city youth and people dealing with illness or poverty.
