Nominated by Oleksandra Budna, New Heights CHCs

Tatiana Predeina moved into the Bathurst-Finch neighbourhood about 12 years ago. A rhythmic gymnastics coach with lots of experience from Russia, Tatiana started a gymnastics school, Antibes Rhythmic Gymnastics, in the Bathurst-Finch neighbourhood about ten years ago. Tatiana believes that rhythmic gymnastics is a fun way for children to be physically active, help boost their self-esteem and confidence and promote healthy lifestyle. Antibes Rhythmic Gymnastics now has about 50 students, provincial and national championships participants and even winners among them. Tatiana is now working on starting a group for women so they could enjoy all the benefits of the rhythmic gymnastics as well.

Antibes Rhythmic Gymnastics hosts several shows throughout the year. The shows are open to the whole community and are free of charge. Each year in June, Tatiana organizes a Baby Cup Show, a big fun event to mark the end of another practice year and celebrate young gymnasts' achievements. The group participates in different community events, including annual performance at the Antibes Multicultural Festival.

Tatiana is also an active member of the Bathurst-Finch Community Advisory Panel, a group of community residents and other stakeholders that advise New Heights CHCs on various matters concerning the development of Bathurst-Finch Community Hub and Satellite Community Health Centre.
