Annie Pelletier is recognized for her diving career, which earned her a bronze medal in the three-meter springboard at the 1996 Summer Olympics. That's no small feat! In fact, in 2008, she was inducted into the Quebec Sports Hall of Fame… that's no small feat either!!
Annie Pelletier is now retired from her diving career, but that doesn't mean she spends her days playing bridge! We've seen her on television as a sports presenter, an analyst during diving events (2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016), and as a spokesperson for Village Vacances Valcartier (One day is not enough!). Even there, we can't say she's twiddling her thumbs!
In addition to all that, since 2005, Annie Pelletier has been the Communications Director for the Fondation de l’athlète d’excellence du Québec (a foundation whose aim is to "support student-athletes financially in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence and to contribute to the promotion of role models in Quebec society.") AND (because no, that's not all!!) she has also been the godmother of Special Olympics (whose mission is to enrich, through sport, the lives of people with intellectual disabilities) since 1997. Plenty to be proud of!!
We cannot mention all her accomplishments without mentioning the one that certainly had the greatest impact on her life… that of giving life! Indeed, Annie has been a proud mother since December 2015! We can add that to her long list ;)
Annie Pelletier is undoubtedly a great source of inspiration and a great Quebec pride.
