Inspiring Talk About Sports, School & Life Captivated Students
On Wednesday, January 8th, Taylor McPherson, an Amazing Race Canada Winner and an Indigenous empowerment advocate, visited the school to talk to students about her experiences.
Taylor promotes accessible sports and leadership development within Indigenous communities. She was a varsity wrestler at the U of A and she won gold at Nationals in her last year. She was also a co-winner of "The Amazing Race Canada" on Season 10.
Beyond these achievements, she also co-founded the Spiritual Holistic Exercise Den (SHED), a program empowering Indigenous youth with access to sports and leadership training and inspiring them to embrace their cultural heritage. Our thanks to Taylor for her inspiring visit to Inner City High School. Our thanks to the Canadian Native Friendship Centre for their assistance connecting us with Taylor.
