The RBC Training Ground
The venue is set for the athletes to begin
The RBC Training Ground is a program designed to help athletes realize their Olympic dream, whether it be in their original sport or another sport of that they may have never considered. Athletes are tested in a series of events and are identified to go on to further competitors against Canadian athletes from all over the country, with the hopes of gaining some financial support from the Royal Bank of Canada. Our athletes took part in a previous event in February at UQUAM and Cruz Lewis was selected to move on to the following event which was held at the Gatineau Sports Centre.
