Interview with Dion Walcott - Augy and Dion played in the classic Halifax Provincial Black Basketball Tournament in the early '90s. Dion was a Toronto baller just coming out of high school and Augy was a university all-star starting out his teaching career. They both speak fondly of this community/sport experience. The rich conversation that ensues is fueled by basketball and pivotal life memories that put into context the present-day work Dion does with empowering youth in Toronto. He is an urban culture consultant with MARTK'D and Yellowbrick...two companies that pair large companies with urban youth.
