specialist in transforming potential into peak performance, Marnie McBean has left an\u00a0indelible mark on Canadian sports and beyond. She is one of Canada\u2019s most accomplished\u00a0Olympians who has dedicated her career to unlocking the potential within teams and nurturing\u00a0the leadership capabilities within all. Drawing upon her extensive background as a performance\u00a0coach and a top-tier competitor, McBean shares her universal framework for success, revealing\u00a0invaluable lessons on performance and teamwork.<\/p>\n<p>McBean\u2019s Olympic journey spans an impressive 10 games, where she donned various roles,\u00a0from athlete to media representative, from mentor to chef de mission. She is one of only two\u00a0Canadians to have won three gold medals in the Summer Olympics and one of two women\u00a0globally to have secured medals in all six boat classes. As a team and solo performer, McBean\u00a0cracked the formula for success, winning 12 World and Olympic medals.<\/p>\n<p>After retiring as an athlete, Marnie joined Team Canada\u2019s leadership for seven Olympic Games,\u00a0and was the chef de mission for the 2020 Tokyo Games. Her focus as a leader has always been\u00a0on empowering her team emotionally and psychologically to reach their highest levels of\u00a0performance, both on and off the field of play. As a keynote speaker, her insights into valuing\u00a0differences within teams resonate deeply with audiences, and her ability to connect effortlessly\u00a0with everyone leaves a lasting impact.<\/p>\n<p>An Officer of the Order of Canada, McBean has always been a strong champion of social justice\u00a0causes and an inspirational role model for young Canadian athletes. In recognition of her work,\u00a0she has been awarded the Governor General\u2019s Meritorious Service Medal and Queen Elizabeth\u00a0II\u2019s Diamond Jubilee Medal. Today, McBean continues serving Canadians as an independent\u00a0member of the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>McBean holds a degree in kinesiology from Western University, as well as four honorary\u00a0doctorates. She is a member of Canada&#8217;s Sports Hall of Fame and the Canadian Olympic Hall of\u00a0Fame, and the author of The Power of More: How Small Steps Help Us Achieve Big Goals.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\"

Drawing on recent research conducted by Signal49 Research on behalf of the Future Skills Centre, the session explores why many skilled trade positions remain unfilled\u2014and how counsellors can play a pivotal role in addressing this challenge. We will examine key barriers, including persistent stigma, limited exposure to modern trades, and outdated training pathways. Participants will leave with strategies to introduce students to high-demand careers that offer prospects of strong earnings, long-term professional growth, and meaningful contributions to Canada\u2019s infrastructure, sustainability, and housing goals.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bio_adam-vanzella-yang.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1290\" style=\"width:195px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bio_adam-vanzella-yang.jpg 600w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bio_adam-vanzella-yang-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bio_adam-vanzella-yang-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bio_adam-vanzella-yang-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/bio_adam-vanzella-yang-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Adam Vanzella Yang, PhD <\/strong>(<em>Senior Research Associate, Education and SKills Branch, Signal49 Research)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"99\" src=\"https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Signal49_Logo_Black_150-300x99.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Signal49_Logo_Black_150-300x99.png 300w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Signal49_Logo_Black_150-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Signal49_Logo_Black_150.png 563w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>    <div class=\"bio\">Adam Vanzella Yang is the Senior Research Associate, Education and Skills at Signal49 Research.

This session introduces an expanded Transition Resource Guide, developed with Ministry of Education funding, that supports planning across four key pathways: post-secondary education, apprenticeships and skilled trades, community participation, and employment. Participants will explore practical tools and strategies to support intentional, individualized transition planning. Emphasis will be placed on helping students build readiness, navigate systems, and align goals with appropriate supports, improving confidence, access, and successful outcomes across diverse post-secondary pathways.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Alison-Parker-Square-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Alison-Parker-Square-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Alison-Parker-Square-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Alison-Parker-Square-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Alison-Parker-Square-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Alison-Parker-Square-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Alison-Parker-Square-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Alison-Parker-Square-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Alison-Parker-Square.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Alison Parker<\/strong> <em>(Clinical Manager of the Regional Assessment and Resource Centre (RARC))<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-300x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-scaled-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-scaled-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/conference.osca.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/TRG-Logo-Circle-12x12.png 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>    <div class=\"bio\">Alison Parker is the Clinical Manager of the Regional Assessment and Resource Centre (RARC), overseeing clinic operations and transition initiatives.
