Through skating, I have traveled the world, challenging myself through sport while appreciating every day just how incredible our planet is. As an skater, however, I have also trained and raced in extreme pollution; and in doing so, experienced first-hand the damage we are doing both to ourselves and the only home we have. We all have a role to play in saving our environment, through the choices we made each day. No steps taken to help our environment are too small to make a difference!
As an athlete, the link between physical and environmental health is inseparable. I became involved with CAC after seeing first hand the effects of pollution and climate change through my sport. I believe we all have an important role to play in reducing pollution through choices we make each day.
Did you know it's possible to get a speeding ticket on SKATES? Meaghan Buisson sure does! The current solo-marathon World Record holder in the sport of inline speed skating, Meaghan has twice been ticketed by police for exceeding local speed limits while on skates. Off-skates, Meaghan is the founder of Active Voices; a school-based initiative promoting positive body image among youth aged 10-18 through physical activity, healthy eating and well being. Fluently bilingual, she has presented at national level conferences and in schools across Western Canada. She is biographied in "The Ten Most Inspiring Canadians"(2007, Scholastic/Rubicon Publishing).
