Tessa Virtue, C.M., and Scott Moir, C.M.
London, Ontario and Ilderton, Ontario
Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir have brought ice dancing to unprecedented heights. The most-decorated team in figure skating’s history, they have won more than 50 international medals, including three Olympic gold medals, and were the youngest ice dancers to stand atop the Olympic podium. They have emboldened tomorrow’s figure skaters through their displays of elegant strength and chemistry, and by promoting inclusivity in sport as proud supporters of Special Olympics Canada. Undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with as partners, they also support their communities as individuals.
