Decorated athletes looking forward to time in Meadow Lake
Two decorated athletes are excited about visiting with residents Meadow Lake at an upcoming sports dinner hosted by the local Kinsmen Club.
The event takes place tonight at 7 p.m. Former Saskatchewan Roughrider Chris Getzlaf and national wrestling champion Natasha Fox will be the keynote speakers. Both elite athletes said they’re looking forward to speaking at the dinner, and were also eager to interact with and explore the community.
Fox is one of 57 athletes across Canada who is an RBC Olympian, training for a spot on the 2020 Olympic team. The local RBC branch worked with the Kinsmen to bring her to the community, and she said she’s excited to share her message.
“One of the best parts is the questions that come after the speech,” she said. “I have a pretty good message that can be widely applied to everybody. I talk about overcoming fear and how you can use it as a tool.”
