Competing at the highest level!

February 7, 2014, 11:02am

With just a few hours to go until the official opening of the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, my thoughts turn to the athletes and their coaches who are in for an unforgettable experience. My memories of competing in seven Olympic Games are still so clear. I especially treasure those of the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City, when I was the head coach of the Canadian women’s hockey team. I was extremely fortunate to have had an extremely talented... READ

Before stepping fully into the new year, however, I would like to take a minute to look back at 2013, an excellent year indeed for the Campus Montréal fundraising campaign. Excellent, thanks to an outstanding team made up of donors, Executive Cabinet and a great many other volunteers, whose invaluable support had made our campaign such a success!

The Carabins: strength of character

November 18, 2013, 5:45pm
