Clara Hughes

We're delighted to welcome Olympian, mental health advocate, and author Clara Hughes to Victoria for a special event celebrating her new memoir, Learning to Breathe. Known to many Canadians as an Olympic champion, Clara's impact extends far beyond sport. Now living on Vancouver Island, she has become one of the country's leading advocates for mental health awareness, encouraging open conversations about struggle, healing, and resilience. In Learning to Breathe, Clara shares her most personal story yet, reflecting on the rewards and costs of athletic achievement, her experiences with mental health, and the challenges of navigating life's major transitions. This deeply personal memoir will resonate with readers far beyond the world of athletics. We hope you'll join us for a conversation between Clara and Gregor Craigie as she reflects on the experiences that shaped her life and the lessons she learned on the path toward greater self-understanding and hope.
