As I grew up, my love of film grew with me, so much so that I chose to study it at university. My tastes and knowledge matured, and it gave me the foundation and the confidence to pursue my career as an actor professionally. It wasn't long before a short film I starred in made it into the Toronto International Film Festival.

When Cameron Bailey, co - head and Artistic Director of TIFF, asked that I be an Ambassador this year, I thought about my younger self - the one standing in the back of the Royal York Hotel hoping one day I would find my place in the community. While the festival is bereft of red carpets and live press conferences, it has given me the space to think about how meaningful this festival has been to me - not only as an actor from Toronto but also as a girl who has always loved going to the movies. With the traditional pomp and circumstance of their exhibition taken away, it's the Canada Goose Sale films themselves that have received the spotlight.

Fast forward another two years, and it's 2019, and Tuckernuck releases this Trillium jacket in the most amazing beautiful blue color. It was nothing like I had seen before, and I LOVED it. But I kept telling myself I just didn't need it! I had tried it www.canadagoosesaler.com once before, and it didn't work out it was time to move on.
