Name: Megan Franklin

Hometown: St. Catharines, ON
An award winning figure skater, sommelier, and coach this is not the first time Megan has competed on a national stage. Born and raised in St. Catharines Megan studied history and sport management at Brock University and winery and viticulture studies at Niagara College before becoming a certified sommelier. She currently works for a not for profit theatre company.
Athletics has played a major role in Megan’s life. She gained experience and love for competition as a member of Canada’s National Synchronized Figure Skating Team from 1997 - 2003. She now shares the lessons that she learned with younger athletes through coaching. As synchronized skating coach of the Brock figure skating team she led her team to two undefeated seasons and was part of the staff that received the 2006 OUA Coach of the Year Award. She also volunteers as a rowing coach for high school students.
Through her studies of viticulture Megan has found a new appreciation for our Canadian farmers. She is a believer in purchasing products that have been locally grown and produced to support her neighbours.
As an active member of her community, Megan routinely participates in local events including The St Catharines’ Downtown Chili Cook Off in support of Community Care, allowing her to give back to the community that has given her so much. She is also a member of COWAC (Council on World Affairs Canada) which promotes the study of world issues.
