Yvonne Barnes, a second-year midfielder with the Algoma Thunderbirds and George Leach Centre women’s soccer team and recipient of the Champion of EDI Award, always puts others first.

Her greatest impact comes through the compassion she shows to teammates and staff. Whether supporting a struggling player or taking a recruit out for lunch, Barnes embraces her role as both a key player and team ambassador for the Thunderbirds.
