In the universe of Skate Canada, the Mohawk is now the C step and the Choctaw is now the S step, if my once-removed (fsuniverse.com) reading of Skate Canada's email is correct.
"This is part of "work[ing] toward the decolonizing of our terminology and align[ing] with our commitment to anti-racism.""Skate Canada needs to commit to a whole bunch of other stuff while they're at it but I'm not holding my breath.
But as to this refreshed attitude, let's hope we never see another one of these (from 2015 or thereabouts)
I remember when I saw this. I wanted to die. At the same time, everything Bourne skates has this vibe.(Yes she was a show skater at the time but I've always seen her as exactly Skate Canada's cup of tea.)
They changed the names but they don’t care of their athletes... Daleman has weight and health problems , Moore Tower said yesterday that she suffered from disorder , Fournier and Sorensen are underscored because for SC the top team are Poirier and Gilles. Paul and Islam retired year ago because they knew that there were no hopes for them to be in the Olympic team. Soucisse Firus moved in Toronto for the same reason probably. I hope that Skate Canada will change and rise in a good way the news generations of skaters
