Emma Colucci '03
Excerpt from Spring 2016 issue of The Link:
Emma Colucci '03 has held a passion for community development and a love for sports most of her life. After spending 12 years as a ‘Lifer’ at CDS, Emma pursued a BA in Communications & Sociology at Concordia University, where she also played four years on the Women’s Varsity Soccer team.
She then went on to earn a Master’s through a joint program between Ryerson and York Universities, writing her thesis on sport as a tool for development and conducting her research in South Africa. After graduating, Emma worked briefly as an intern for a small development agency, Athletes for Africa, taught English in Thailand, and worked on the 2011 Census for Statistics Canada.
This combination of life experiences led her to the global organization Right To Play in 2011.

Land Acknowledgment
The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
