Vanessa Keefe and R.J. Hetherington call it an honour to have been selected to lead Prince Edward Island into the opening ceremonies of the 2022 Canada ...
Hetherington, an 18-year-old graduate of Charlottetown Rural and the son of Richard Hetherington and Betty Bunagan, said he is also excited to carry the P.E.I. flag with Keefe.“I have never been to a Games, so I thought it was pretty cool to get to kind of be the face of the province. It is exciting I get to do it with my teammate as well.”Team P.E.I. chef de mission Jo-anne Wallace said it’s an honour for athletes to serve as flag-bearers.
Most recently, the daughter of John and Tasha Keefe won a bronze medal in the under-19 age class at the Canadian championships. Hetherington, who has been training in wrestling for almost five years, said he is grateful for the chance to wear the Team P.E.I. colours. The intensity of that training has increased leading up to the 2023 Games.
