Penny Oleksiak and many of her fellow Olympic athletes visited the House of Commons today for a joyous welcome by MPs, a grand and disorganized tramp around the floor of the House and pictures with the Prime Minister. For Oleksiak, the pride of Toronto Beaches and of all Canada, it was a return visit. The unassuming swimming star, 16, recalled that she had come there at the age of five but wasn’t allowed to walk around inside. Some improvement in her welcome and for a very good reason.
