Unexpected Perks

There are some unexpected perks to the job of participating on the Finance Committee as we engage in pre-budget consultations---this past week we had Thérèse Brisson, member of the Olympic Gold Medal-winning hockey team in Salt Lake City, advocating for continued sport funding post Vancouver 2010. Everyone on the committee (many are themselves pretty keen hockey players) was pretty thrilled to have her there. And she brought her gold medal, which she graciously passed around --- see the photo of yours truly with an Olympic gold medal :-)
