The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, March 31, edition that Canaccord
Genuity Group chief executive officer Paul Reynolds is in serious
condition in hospital after encountering
an "unexpected medical
emergency" while
competing in a triathlon in
Hawaii.
The Globe's Bertrand Marotte and Niall McGee write that Mr. Reynolds was competing in
the Lavaman Waikoloa Triathlon
on Sunday morning, when he
got into trouble during the swim
portion of the race.
Mr. Reynolds "called out for
help and then went under the
water," says one observer.
Mr.
Reynolds was immediately
pulled from the water by safety
personnel and brought to shore
on a jet ski. He was administered
CPR and transported to hospital.
Canaccord Genuity says: "He remains in serious but improving
condition. ... He is awake and responsive
with his family by his side. We
are optimistic for Paul's full and
speedy recovery."
Canaccord
Genuity is mum on
the specifics of the incident other
than saying it happened during
a family vacation.
Mr. Reynolds, who is 52 years
old, is being treated at the North
Hawaii Community Hospital.
Chairman David Kassie has
taken over as CEO on an interim
basis until Mr. Reynolds recovers.
