The 2020 (2021) Summer Olympics in Tokyo are
nearing an end and although Canada may not have dominated this year, we
sure do have a lot to be proud of - especially when it comes to
the women who represented us at this year's games. All of the first 11
medals won for Canada were won by women... Congratulations to
Margaret MacNeil, Maude Charron, the women's rowing team, the women's
diving team, Kylie Masse, the women's swimming team, the women's
softball team, Jessica Klimkait, Catherine Beauchemin-Pinard, and
Penny Oleksiak for your incredible achievements. These women are truly
an inspiration for us all.
Taking the lead from these champions, use the extra motivation this
week to try something new that will get you moving. Staying active is
one of the best things you can do for your heart and your health. Rent
a bike and cruise around the valley trails in Whistler or pack
your backpack and go for a swim in one of
our beautiful lakes. Even a brisk walk wearing your favourite pair of sneakers through the village can help
get your heart rate up! And while you're here be sure to stop in for a
visit... we're open Sunday
- Thursday from 10am - 7pm and Fridays &
Saturdays from 10am - 8pm. In case you didn't
realize, our boutique store is 100% female owned and operated by
jewellery designer Adrienne Deeks. We also carry a
selection of jewellery, accessories, handbags and wallets,
footwear, housewares, gifts, and more from women designers both in
store and on our website here. Celebrate women winning at the
Olympics this week by supporting women in business wherever you may be! |
