RBC Olympian Presenting

We are pleased to welcome RBC Olympian Colin Mathieson to our school on Thursday morning as a start up to the Carman Community BlizzardFest activies.  Colin's message is that achievement comes from recognizing the opportunities around you.   Colin's message focuses on the importance of redefining your capabilities while reminding yourself of those who supported you along the way.
