General Interest

PATH BACK TO NATIONAL TEAM
In May 2020, Nordiq Canada (national federation) left her off the national team but she appealed her case and started the 2021/22 season on the squad. "The last two years have been extremely difficult, especially morally. But I have grown a lot through all these trials that I had to overcome. I could have let everything go; it would have been a lot easier than continuing to fight." (journalinfoslaurentides.com, 29 Apr 2021)

FEMINACTION
Along with her teammate Laura Leclair, she recently founded "Feminaction", a program whose objective is to encourage girls to get involved in cross-country skiing and to stay in this discipline. (gazettedesfemmes.ca)
