Class of 2020-2021 Judy Kent Acceptance Speech |
Scope & Content |
Length: 2:19 The 2020-2021 Canada's Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony was streamed online. Summary: Judy Kent expressed her gratitude for being inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and receiving the Order of Sport Award. She reflected on the many benefits sport has brought to her life—building skills, fostering understanding, and shaping her identity as a Canadian. More significantly, she emphasized sport’s power as a tool for addressing social issues like discrimination and inequality. Throughout her career, she focused on promoting inclusion, fairness, and equity in sport governance. Even in retirement, she contributed globally by helping build Generations for Peace, a non-governmental organization in Jordan that uses sport to foster peace in conflict zones. She shared powerful memories from this work and concluded with pride in joining the 2021 inductee class, thanking Dr. Sandy Kirby for her nomination and the Hall of Fame for the recognition. |
