"Before I became involved, I had no idea what the GLTB Games are; but when I learned the values of Participation and Celebration, Respect and Fairness, Innovation, Diversity and Empowerment, I had to be a part of it. In Montréal in 2006, the values of these Games will be brought to life by a city that is famous for its world-class events, the celebration of diversity among its people, and the pursuit of individual excellence."
