Andrea St. Bernard, a lawyer with McMillan LLP in Toronto, recently qualified to compete in taekwando for her native Grenada at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England.
St. Bernard — who took up taekwando just before starting law — was featured in the Summer 2010 issue of Precedent. She told the magazine at the time that her ultimate goal was to represent her Caribbean island nation at the Olympics.
We congratulate her on achieving her dream and wish her loads of luck in London this summer.
To support St. Bernard’s Olympian pursuit, McMillan has matched donations of $7,500 to create a $15,000 fund. She will be presented with a cheque today (Friday) at 4 p.m. at McMillan’s Bay Street offices.
