Today, the Canadian Olympic Committee issued the following statement of gratitude to the Ontario Government for naming Highway 93 after Canadian freestyle skiing athlete Sarah Burke, who died tragically during training in 2012.
"Sarah Burke was a freestyle skiing superstar and pioneer of the halfpipe skiing sport. Her efforts in lobbying to have halfpipe skiing added to the Olympic program for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games is a testament to her dedication to her craft and high performance sport in Canada. The Sarah Burke Memorial Highway runs right through the area where she was born and raised so thank you to the Ontario Government for recognizing her in such a fitting way."
– Marcel Aubut, President, Canadian Olympic Committee
