UBC Prof honoured for sports influence on girls

ProMotion Plus, a non-profit entity, as well as the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame and the B.C. Centre for Excellence in Women's Health honoured Wilson and two other women at the annual In Her Footsteps event on October 27th.

A professor in the kinesiology department at the University of B.C., Wilson instructs the instruction of sports. She arrived in Vancouver from Ontario in 1977 to complete her Master's. "The plan was to stay one year."  Since then she has shared a passion for physical education and elevated the standards of hundreds of teachers, coaches and sport leaders who adopted her pedagogical principles.
