Special Event at Olympic Heights – January 23

This morning, Olympic Heights School was proud to host a truly unforgettable assembly announcing the 2026 Canadian Olympic Bobsleigh Team who will be competing at the Winter Olympic Games in Italy next month. The event was emceed by Canadian Olympic legend Catriona Le May Doan, adding inspiration and prestige to an already exciting morning. Our students played a central role, confidently introducing the athletes as the entire OHS community cheered on Team Canada with incredible enthusiasm. The energy in the gym was electric and reflected the pride, respect, and school spirit of our students and staff. Following the assembly, several athletes generously visited classrooms, taking time to connect with students and share their experiences as elite competitors. These moments made the day even more meaningful and memorable. Highlights of today’s event might even be found on the evening news!

We extend our very best wishes to all the athletes as they prepare to represent Canada on the world stage. OHS will be cheering you on every step of the way!
