SUMMARY:An Olympic Book Club
DESCRIPTION:A.C. Hunter Library – St John’s  Winter Olympics 2026 is just around the corner! To mark the occasion we are having a special book club. We will be discussing Open Heart: Open Mind by Clara Hughes. \nFrom one of Canada’s most decorated Olympians comes a raw but life-affirming story of one woman’s struggle with depression. \nIn 2006\, when Clara Hughes stepped onto the Olympic podium in Torino\, Italy\, she became the first and only athlete ever to win multiple medals in both Summer and Winter Games. Four years later\, she was proud to carry the Canadian flag at the head of the Canadian team as they participated in the opening ceremony of the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. But there’s another story behind her celebrated career as an athlete\, behind her signature billboard smile. \nWhile most professional athletes devote their entire lives to training\, Clara spent her teenage years using drugs and drinking to escape the stifling home life her alcoholic father had created in Elmwood\, Winnipeg. She was headed nowhere fast when\, at sixteen\, she watched transfixed in her living room as gold medal speed skater Gaétan Boucher effortlessly raced in the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Dreaming of one day competing herself\, Clara channeled her anger\, frustration\, and raw ambition into the endurance sports of speed skating and cycling. By 2010\, she had become a six-time Olympic medalist. \nCopies are available at the circ desk. Please call 709-737-2133 for more infomation.
