October 31, 2025 (Halifax, NS) – Sport Nova Scotia is proud to announce that the October Cleve’s Source for Sports Impact Award recipients are Cole Stewart (Male Athlete), Alexis MacDonald (Female Athlete) and John Paul Primeau (Coach).
Male Athlete: Cole Stewart
Achievements: Cole Stewart of Enfield, NS, made a remarkable impact in September by earning an invitation to Golf Canada’s Team Canada – NextGen Selection Camp, held alongside the Canadian Collegiate Invitational tournaments.
As the only Nova Scotian athlete selected, Cole’s achievement highlights his elite performance and dedication to amateur golf. His invitation follows a win at the NextGen Atlantic Championship this past summer, solidifying his place among Canada’s top junior golfers.
Female Athlete: Alexis MacDonald
Achievements: Alexis MacDonald strives to be an outstanding athlete in every corner of her life. Hailing from Linacy, NS, Alexis was a four-time member of Team Nova Scotia Softball, competed in many Eastern Canadian Championships and national championships and this past summer competed at the 2025 Canada Games. She recently committed to the softball team at Monroe University (NJCAA Division 1) for 2026.
Alexis has also been a competitive gymnastics coach at the Pictou County Gymnastics Club for the last four years.
Coach: John Paul Primeau
Achievements: Halifax’s John Paul Primeau has been a dedicated member of the weightlifting community in Nova Scotia for many years, both as an athlete and coach.
John Paul created an inclusive and welcoming environment while working at GoodLife Park Lane, and when that location closed John Paul worked to ensure that his athletes’ progress and training routines could go as unaffected as possible. He quickly secured a new space for his athletes to train and maintained consistent support by offering both in-person coaching and online guidance through the duration of this process. His dedication allowed athletes to continue their training seamlessly and reinforced the stability and trust he provides as a coach.
