During his time at the Sir Fredrick Fraser School for the Blind, David Fraser recognized the benefits of sport for the blind community.

In 1976, David took a team of blind athletes to the Ontario Games for the Disabled and his passion for blind sports grew. He went on to form the Nova Scotia Blind Sports Association in 1974 with the help of friends and fellow employees. David took on coaching, public relations, and fundraising roles for the first two years until he moved on to assist with the Canadian Blind Sports Association.

Some other major accomplishments for David included coaching the 1978 National Blind Track and Field team, serving as national coach of the 1979 Goal Ball team which participated in the first World Goal Ball Games, undertaking responsibility for a CBC special on blind sports in 1978, and organizing and chairing the first Canadian Indoor Games for the Blind in 1976 (in which he also raised all funds to host).

In 1979, David was the national coach for track and field and led the Canadian team to the first Pan American Games for the Blind in Chicago. The Canadian team placed first, set six world records, and created eleven new Canadian records.

David was the coach of the 1980 Canadian Olympic disabled team, which broke 26 Canadian records and won 34 medals. After making significant contributions to blind sport David went on to establish road racing in Nova Scotia, opening up a sporting goods shop, organizing several races, and bringing in Boston Marathon Champions and Canadian Marathon Champions to present clinics across the province.

David is a great leader who has made a major impact in blind sport across the nation. He has been married for thirty-four years and has two sons.
