Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak about the fantastic achievements of a young person from my riding of Sudbury.
After attending Collège Notre-Dame and graduating in June 2018, Nina Kucheran received an NCAA Division I scholarship to attend Florida State University and swim for their varsity team.
With the support of her family, Nina began swimming at the age of five at the Nickel District Pool before joining the Sudbury Laurentian Swim Club. In August 2018, Nina earned two silver medals representing Canada at the Junior Pan Pacific Championships in Fiji.
Physical activity is a big part of Canadian culture. Nina's hard work and intense passion can inspire us all. Our community is proud of Nina, and we are excited to see what amazing things she does next.
I wish her great success as she competes at the 2019 women's swimming and diving national championships in Austin, Texas.
Not only does Nina make Sudbury proud, but she makes Canada proud.
