Raised in the Northwest Territories and members of the Gwich’in Nation, twin sisters Sharon and Shirley Firth were introduced to cross-country skiing at the age of fourteen. Their tenacity and perseverance resulted in 80 medals at Canada’s national championships, including 48 gold, 25 silver and seven bronzes. They were the first women to represent Canada and compete at a Nordic World Championship, a World Junior Championship and at the Olympic Winter Games. Today they share their inspirational story with youth, encouraging them to develop a healthy and active lifestyle.
