“I am so thrilled to officially welcome Lang School of Business and Economics as an Official Supplier after many years of working together,” said Karen O’Neill, CEO, Canadian Paralympic Committee. “The Lang School has been instrumental to our Games preparation since 2020 helping us make strong data-informed decisions to provide the best environment for the team to succeed.
