"
I just wish people would realize that anything's possible if you try; dreams are made possible if you try.
— Terry Fox
So many dreams were accomplished at the 2026
Olympic Games. Making the national team is the win. Any medal that an athlete brings home is
icing on the cake.
Personally, I'm very proud of our Canadian athletes, both for what they did in their
individual sports, but more importantly for representing Canada with grace, class, and dignity. They showed
the world who Canadians are, even when the medal that was desired did not hang around their neck.
If your child is interested in sports, I encourage you to support them and help them pursue their dreams.
"
Sport is about the journey, the friendships, and the values you learn, not just the medals.
— Mark Tewksbury
