Sunny's Quest

Olivia

Olivia is a 10-year-old girl who lives in Ottawa, Ontario. She'll introduce us to her Haitian Canadian family and tell us about Haiti's history - including the importance of soup joumou (the soup of Haitian independence), which she makes with her mom. Olivia is learning Haitian Creole - and likes to play word games with her sisters! After, we follow Olivia to the gym where she practices gymnastics and demonstrates on the beam, vault and her personal favourite - floor! At home, she shows us her bar, her beam and her gymnastics medals. After a special surprise from her Olympian role model, Olivia goes skating on the Rideau Canal with her family and tells us about the Kompa dance, which she learned from her grandparents.
