Guest: Allison Forsyth. Former Olympic skier (2002), Board member at AthletesCAN (Cdn national teams athletes). Partner/COO at ITP Sport. Safe sport consulting and programming agency. She was sexually assaulted by former national ski team coach Bertrand Charest, who was eventually sentenced to 12 years in prison for sexual assaults on numerous skiers, but had his sentence reduced because he was judge "low risk" to reoffend.
