Hi Grenfell Glen neighbours! This is to share Olivier's good news: he participated in Ontario's Summer Provincials diving competition in Windsor last weekend and came away with a 4th on the 3 metre springboard and a bronze medal on the platform, as well as qualifying for all events at the summer Nationals! Thank you to the community for supporting Olivier's fundraising efforts that support his diving club. We appreciate it and Olivier continues to work hard at his diving. For those of you who don't know Olivier, he is 13 years old and in grade 8. He started diving when he was 8 years old. He enjoys reading, singing, dancing, building things and, of course, diving. He has been living in Grenfell Glen since 2020. Please enjoy this short video showing of one of Olivier's dives in Windsor!
