The Paris Olympics are almost here!
In a very special episode of The GIST of It, co-hosts Ellen Hyslop and Steph Rotz dive into gender parity at the Olympics, sponsored by our pals at Canadian Tire.

In addition to discussing the history of women at the Olympics, this episode features two insightful conversations with Kim Saunders of Canadian Tire and Julia Wilkinson, a former Team Canada Olympic swimmer, who have both seen the growth of women’s sports firsthand from a business and athlete perspective.
