As of March, she was the second-ranked sabre fencer in all of Ontario, placing her among the top 12 in Canada. This rising star is and will continue to be an inspiration
to all.

with your life, but this gives us an opportunity to stay competitive and keep playing at a high level. It’s really motivating.” St. Pierre, a left side previously played volleyball and the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ont. While ability, experience and athleticism helped him make the team, the support, coordination, and collaboration from his supervisors and his fellow bridge watch keepers were essential in securing his spot. His experience at the World Games will be unforgettable, as it will be a chance to play volleyball at an international level, and the opportunity to interact with different militaries’ approaches towards competitive sports. VANCOUVER is proud to have one of its members accomplish such an achievement. Congratulations!
