RBC Olympians

RBC Olympians are Canadian Olympic and Paralympic Athletes hired by RBC Royal Bank as community ambassadors who share Olympic messages of excellence and leadership with Canadian communities. In 2008, RBC has hired 29 athletes across Canada.

Athletes are provided with the opportunity to gain work experience that will help them prepare for life after they retire from competition, while also receiving much-needed funding to help them pursue their Olympic and Paralympic aspirations.
