#OlympicDay, held annually on June 23rd, showcases healthy active lifestyles & the Olympic values: excellence, friendship & respect. Countless memories created my journey to #OlympicGold but nothing compares to the friendships and life changing experiences along the way.

I’ve been fortunate enough to experience a lot of what the world has to offer through travel, study and sport - and it’s been amazing! Yet, no matter how fast and furious the journey has felt, #Canada has always had a special way of slowing it down. #HappyCanadaDay 🇨🇦

Value your Needs! Qualifying for an Olympics is always Hard Work!! Athletes accept the ups and downs of competition, it’s part of sport. But normalization of unsafe and unsupportive environments have no place at any level of sport! #push4change ⁦ cbc.ca/news/canada/bo…

Today, I brought organizations and athletes to an emergency roundtable to address safe sport. I want athletes to know that I hear them and will build collectively a system that works for and with them. #SafeSport Full statement here 👇

Navigating through these issues in my career was some of the most challenging times for me in sport. Who do you report it to, the same organization who lacks any form of diversity to then define my experience? I’m sure they will deflect and be dismissive of the systemic issues
