Kim Eagles attended Meadow Ridge Elementary School, Alexander Robinson, Garibaldi and Thomas Haney School in our community. Kim Eagles first took up target shooting at age seven as part of the four events of the tetrathlon: running, riding, swimming, and shooting. She used to practice her shooting at home on a range built at her parents' property. No longer competing in tetrathlons she now competes nationally and internationally in target shooting and is a Canadian champion. Her gold medal in air pistol at the 1999 Pan Am Games ensured Canada a spot in the women's air pistol events at the 2000 Summer Olympics. Kim has studied Kinesiology at the university of Victoria, and is pursuing her nursing degree from Douglas College and Malaspina College. Kim will represent our country, and her home town, at the Sydney Olympics.
