Justina Di Stasio still gets pumped up about school assemblies.

But the tables have turned for Di Stasio, a member of Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba who represented Canada in the women’s wrestling competition at last year’s Paris Olympics.

Instead of being in the audience, Di Stasio will be speaking to young people at six First Nations schools in Alberta this week. Her talks, which will be held March 17 to March 19, have been arranged through Classroom Champions.
