I was one of the very few who were privileged to watch those four participate in the Tokyo games. Because of COVID, there were probably six Canadians and eight Swedes who watched them win the Olympic gold medal in a stadium with 80,000 seats.
Their performance for Canada made us all proud and incredibly inspired. We need a gold medal system to support them here in Canada as well.
I'm biased. My mother was a professional athlete. I believe strongly in gender equity. I think we need to work very hard to make sure we have that here in this country, in sport and across all sectors.
