Parry Sound, Ontario, is preparing to celebrate local Olympic hero Megan Oldham, who recently won gold in women's big air at the Milan-Cortina Olympics. The 24-year-old skier captured this victory after also earning a bronze medal in slopestyle earlier in the Games. Mayor Jamie McGarvey expressed pride in Oldham's achievements and shared that the town is coordinating a celebratory event scheduled for February 28 at the Charles W. Stockey Center for the Performing Arts.

Megan Oldham's journey at the Winter Olympics has been impressive, with a notable performance that included overcoming a 75-minute weather delay to secure her gold medal at Livigno Snow Park in Italy. Her resilience was evident when she rebounded from a crash during her second run in slopestyle to earn a bronze medal earlier in the competition. The community's excitement has surged following her accomplishments, reflecting the strong local support and pride in her achievements.

The planned event in Parry Sound aims to honor Oldham and celebrate her contributions to the sport. Mayor McGarvey highlighted that the town has been buzzing with excitement since her bronze medal win, and the atmosphere of pride has only intensified with her subsequent gold medal victory. As the town finalizes plans with Oldham and her family, the community eagerly anticipates the celebration as a testament to their support for a local sports star.
