She is a true embodiment of grace, talent and national pride on the ice. She is recognized as both an author and pioneering advocate for mental health awareness.
Elizabeth is at the helm directing the sold-out figure skating extravaganza, “Love is in the Air”. This Valentine’s Day-themed event is set to enchant audiences on Wednesday, February 14th at the new Wasaga Stars Arena, Wasaga Beach's new twin-pad arena.
The show will feature two-time Olympic silver medalist and three-time World Champion, Elvis Stojko, alongside talented local figure skaters from Wasaga Beach.
