Canadian wrestler Erica Wiebe was touring around Stittsville today with a crew from CBC Ottawa tagging along. The former Sacred Heart student will be competing at the Rio Olympics in August.
You can listen to a replay of a CBC Ottawa Morning interview with Wiebe and her mom Paula, online at cbc.ca/ottawa. Wiebe visited three local schools Monday and spoke to almost 1,000 students.
