Did you know that 9 out of 10 high school girls don’t meet the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines?
By participating in the Virtual FitSpirit Mother/Daughter Relay or by encouraging a participating team, you are contributing to reverse the problem of teenage girls abandoning sport and thus bringing them to be active for the life!

Business Duchesnay
Standing tall
Alongside her work in communications, playing sports is one of Mélanie’s greatest passions. She and her daughter, Lili-Rose, make fitness a central part of their lives. She sees regular exercise as a source of energy, balance, self-esteem and joy.
In high school, Mélanie decided to join a basketball team, in part because she was tall. It was a life-changing decision. Playing basketball allowed her to accept her body, learn how to set goals for herself, develop a competitive spirit and take advantage of the opportunities her height afforded her.
14-year-old Lili-Rose is having a similar experience and following in her mother’s footsteps. Instead of basketball, however, she’s part of her high school’s volleyball team. The mother-daughter duo stay busy on weekends by playing sports, going for walks and working out. In winter, they enjoy both downhill and cross-country skiing.
Mélanie is currently the head of corporate affairs and communications at Duchesnay, a pharmaceutical company with an ongoing commitment to women’s health. Before joining Duchesnay, Mélanie held various key positions in large organizations such as McKesson Canada, Pratt & Whitney Canada and Roche Diagnostics.
Overall, Mélanie’s proud to have established a healthy balance for the important things in her life: family, career, friends, sports and fun. She sees the FitSpirit Mother/Daughter Relay as an inspiring challenge, and she and her daughter Lili-Rose are excited to take it on together.
