Send Darren to the 2011 International Olympic Academy!
Lighting of the Olympic Torch in Olympia, Greece
The International Olympic Academy (IOA) is an annual educational symposium held in Olympia, Greece. The IOA is a unique opportunity to share, study, and implement experiences, social principles, values of Olympism, and the Olympic Spirit with delegates from around the world.
Throughout my career, I have been a dedicated advocate for the growth and education of the Olympic and Paralympic movements within Canada; from recreation to high performance athletes and within all levels of abilities. I have extensive sport experiences provincially, nationally, and internationally with a depth of passion that proves that I am a strong delegate to represent Canada.

Through these experiences, I have gained a commitment to sport that reflects the values of excellence, fun, fairness, personal growth, respect, leadership, and peace. I was a graduate of the Olympic Academy of Canada (OAC) in 2006 and was a member of the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the OAC in 2008.
As a respected nation and voice within the Olympic movement, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) sends two candidates to the IOA every year. Applicants are encouraged to share their social networking abilities as part of this application process and show ways of sharing the Olympic values and experiences at the 2011 IOA with all Canadians.
Share this page with all of your connections and write a comment to show the COC how much support I have in this venture. Thank you!
