Catharine Pendrel is emblematic of mountain biking in Canada.

With a career highlighted by countless achievements, including World Championship, Pan Am Games, and Commonwealth Games Gold Medals, as well as an Olympic Medal, she has truly left her mark.

“The Canada Games were my kick off to high performance sport – it was my motivation to get started and work hard, my confidence from having achieved something important and my springboard on to what could be next. Coming from New Brunswick, it was a huge eye opener that I could be competitive in large fields of the best in Canada. It was also eye opening how much more I still had to learn!”

Catharine Pendrel competed in cycling for Team New Brunswick at the 2001 Canada Summer Games in London, Ontario. From there, she became a 4x Olympian, a 2x World Champion, as well as a Pan Am and Commonwealth Games Champion.

From competing for Team New Brunswick at the 2001 Canada Games, to international glory – we’re thrilled to welcome Catharine Pendrel into the Canada Games Hall of Honour in the Athlete Category.
