Institut national du sport du Québec – Montréal, April 12, 2017— The two organizations behind the creation and implementation of the innovative program for high-performance athletes, Relève Active / Foot in the Door, have signed a third agreement to enable two new cohorts to engage in an internship experience to prepare for their post-sports career. Since 2015, nearly twenty athletes have participated in the program and engaged in exploratory internships in a wide range of environments corresponding to their education or their interests. Montréal Relève makes the internships possible through a network of over 1000 partner organizations, representing more than fifteen major economic sectors available in Montréal.

“The career transition is a pivotal time in the lives of high-performance athletes. By participating in an internship in an field that interests them, athletes can validate their interest in this new professional living environment. We are enthusiastic about the idea of doubling the number of internships this year and supporting 20 athletes in a new sphere of activity.” — Gaëtan Robitaille, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Institut national du sport du Québec

“Thanks to Relève Active / Foot in the Door, we are working to retain talent in Montréal, especially high-performance athletes and future professionals, winners who will make themselves known in this new perspective.” — Marie-Élaine Normandeau, Executive Director of Montréal Relève.

In July 2016, the Montréal program Relève Active / Foot in the Door integrated with the Canada-wide athlete wellness program Game PlanTM and became a model for the Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Sport Institute Network in the rest of Canada.

Among the participants in the first Relève Active / Foot in the Door cohorts:

– Katrina Monton (water polo) – intern with a special educator at Centre jeunesse de Montréal – La Source

– Marie-Lou Morin (synchronized swimming)—intern in food business administration at Sweet Isabelle

– Kristel Ngarlem (weightlifting)—intern in police intervention at the Sureté du Québec

– Victoria Poon (swimming)—intern in mechanical engineering at Siemens Canada

Jacqueline Simoneau (synchronized swimming)—intern in sports medicine at CEPSUM
