Diane Roy to be Inducted into the Quebec Sports Hall of Fame

The Canadian Paralympic Committee proudly congratulates Diane Roy on her upcoming induction into the Quebec Sports Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025.

A trailblazer in Para athletics, Roy’s career spanned over two decades and six Paralympic Games, where she captured five Paralympic medals, one silver and four bronze, and brought pride to Canada through her consistent excellence on the international stage.

A six-time world champion, Roy also made her mark at the Commonwealth Games and Parapan American Games, solidifying her legacy as a fierce competitor and respected leader in sport.

Roy’s induction into the Hall of Fame is a testament not only to her athletic achievements, but also to her enduring impact as a role model for future generations of athletes, particularly those in the Para sport community. Her resilience, discipline, and unwavering commitment to her craft have inspired Canadians and contributed meaningfully to the growth of the Paralympic Movement in Quebec and across the country.

Roy joins an esteemed list of athletes and builders whose contributions have shaped the province’s sporting history. Her recognition alongside fellow 2025 inductees, including Canadian Olympians Jennifer Abel (Diving) and Christine Girard (Weightlifting) and NFL Superbowl winner Laurent Duvernay-Tardif (Football), celebrates the diversity and strength of Quebec’s athletic excellence.

The Canadian Paralympic Committee extends congratulations to Diane Roy on this well-deserved honour and thanks her for her lasting legacy on the Paralympic Movement.
