I met her recently in person at Wit's End, through her not-so-secret siderole, her real joy, which is creating and promoting equestrian events. Over the last decade, Liz has managed sponsorship, tv, marketing and media relations for some of the premier events and national show jumping tours (Crown Royal and Audi National tours). Today, she is key in the Tournament of Champions - the richest and most prestigious outdoor equestrian event in Eastern Canada.
