Going to the gym plays a major role in Dr. Fallon Mitchell's (PhD Kinesiology, '26) mental and physical health.

When Kim Rocheleau (BHK ’95, BEd ’06) finishes her workday as a high school principal with the Greater Essex County District School Board, she often hits the road — or the trail — on two wheels rather than four. 

When she’s not supporting students and staff at Vincent Massey Secondary School, she shares the joy of cycling with women across Essex County. 

Earlier this month, she organized the 13th annual — and final — local Women’s 100, marking more than a decade of leading the inclusive cycling event.
