Who is Lauren Woolstencroft from the Toyota commercial?

If you happened to watch the big final game of the United States' NFL season last night, then there's a good chance you saw the story of a brave Canadian woman's life. In case you didn't realize it or catch on, we thought we'd show you the commercial and dive into who exactly the subject of the Toyota ad is. Her name is , a native to Calgary right here in Alberta, and she is a multi-time gold-medal-winning alpine skier in the Paralympics.

 

"If I could describe my journey in the Paralympic Games in one word, I would say determination. It's been a wonderful experience partnering with Toyota on this global platform to tell my story of overcoming odds. I hope that my participation will encourage and inspire others around the world to pursue their passions and reach for their own personal best."
