The University of Waterloo is excited to invite our community, family and friends to attend an evening featuring one of Canada’s most inspiring and accomplished athletes, Clara Hughes.
In her talk, Open Heart, Open Mind, Clara shares a powerful and personal story beyond her athletic success. After early Olympic experiences, she faced severe depression — hidden beneath the pressures of elite sport. Her journey toward healing became central to her return to competition and her life’s purpose.

The only athlete in Olympic history to win multiple medals in both the Summer and Winter Games, Clara has represented Canada in both cycling and speed skating. She proudly served as Team Canada’s flag-bearer at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games.  Now a dedicated humanitarian and mental health advocate, Clara inspires audiences through her message of resilience, connection, and hope.
