January 25 and 26, 2013
Elizabeth Manley won the Olympic silver medal long before most of the Prince Edward County Skating Club members were born. But she easily won everybody’s heart on Sunday, skating in support of the club’s “Love is Louder” anti-bullying message.
Manley was recovering from a flu bug, but her magical smile and powerful skating shone through, just like it did in Calgary in 1988 when she was competed at the games with a 105F fever.
The lesson was loud and clear as skaters from the PECSC presented their year-end carnival with an anti-bullying message on ice. The show featured a special performance by Olympic silver medalist Elizabeth Manley in addition to group and solo performances including 13-year-old junior bronze level skater Kaitlin Maurer (above).
Canada’s Sweetheart, 1988 Olympic Silver Medalist Elizabeth Manley, charmed the crowd in Wellington on Sunday as she took to the ice with “The Men,” the friends and family of the members of the PECSC. Manley spoke to the crowd about the importance of spreading the “Love is Louder!” anti-bullying message.

25 years ago Elizabeth Manley won the silver medal at the 1988 Calgary Olympics, a performance she doesn’t remember but a celebration that lives on.
