Sarnia's Priscilla Gagné will be competing in judo at the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games this summer.
The Canadian Paralympic Committee and Judo Canada recently confirmed her nomination.
Gagné has been Canada's leading Para judoka for many years now and will be making her third consecutive Paralympic appearance.
She captured a silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, just days after carrying the flag for Canada at the opening ceremony.
"It is always an honour and great privilege to represent Canada at the Paralympics," said Gagné in a news release. "It's extra special for me to compete at a third Games – the 10-year-old Priscilla in me would be amazed to know her future! It's not just about representing my country, but it's representing the dream so many people who live with disabilities have; a dream to belong, a chance to prove they are more than their circumstances, and an opportunity to shine the light for others to be inspired.
"I'm so grateful and humbled for the journey thus far. And though this is my final Games as an athlete, I'm excited for what my future will hold."
Gagné's silver is Canada's best-ever Paralympic finish in Para judo, following four prior bronze medals (Pier Morten in 2000, 1992, and 1988; Eddie Morten in 1988).
The 38-year-old recently won a bronze medal at a Para Judo Grand Prix in Heidelberg, Germany in February.
She is a 2022 world championships silver medallist, and finished fifth at last year's edition.
Gagné is currently ranked number five in the world in her category, and ranked fourth in Paralympic qualification.
The Paris 2024 Paralympic Games will take place August 28 to September 8 in Paris, France.
Gagné will be competing in the women's 57 kilo J1 category on September 5 at Champ de Mars Arena.
Canada is expecting to send a team of approximately 130 athletes.
