Canada is blessed with a proud history of world-renowned divers such as Beverley Boys, Anne Montminy, Sylvie Bernier, Annie Pelletier, Émilie Heymans, Blythe Hartley, and Alexandre Despatie who have graced international and Olympic competitions in years past. Today’s generation of Canadian divers, including champions Jennifer Abel, Meaghan Benfeito, Pamela Ware, Celina Toth, François Imbeau-Dulac, Philippe Gagné and Vincent Riendeau carry on the tradition, competing internationally at the highest levels where the difference between a medal and a disappointing finish is measured in fractions. You and your organization can help provide our athletes with the best possible resources as they compete in Canada and around the world.
