Roberta Bondar — The Galactic Pioneer

In 1992, I looked down from the Discovery shuttle and saw Canada not as a map, but as a living, breathing force. Today, that same celestial perspective guides Les Rouges. Just as I broke the thundering atmosphere to reach the stars, players like Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David defy gravity on the pitch. From the heights of the CN Tower to the grass of BMO Field, we are a nation that no longer fears the horizon. We play with the clarity of the cosmos.
