This episode of Sirens, Slammers and Service is all about proving people wrong and betting on yourself. We sit down with Dawn Richardson Wilson—two-time Olympian and Correctional Peace Officer at the Calgary Remand Centre—for a conversation that is equal parts grit, sacrifice, and perspective. 🛷🚨

From walking into a bobsled recruitment camp feeling completely out of place to representing Canada on the world stage, Dawn opens up about chasing impossible goals, overcoming doubt, and staying committed when the odds—and sometimes the systems—weren’t built in your favour.

We also get into life inside corrections, balancing elite sport with shift work, finding your voice in high-pressure environments, and why the best teams—whether in sport or public safety—are built on trust, consistency, and showing up for each other.

This episode is raw, honest, and packed with moments that will hit home whether you wear a uniform, compete at a high level, or are simply trying to figure out your next move.

Watch Dawn at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics!
