Natasha Dixon

 Natasha Dixon came to Sheridan from the storied North Park Secondary School Basketball program. Upon her arrival, she set out to launch a re-birth of the Sheridan Bruins women's basketball program, a team that had ceased operations in 1990. After setting the stage, Natasha gathered a group of young women to re-launch the basketball team at the extramural/club level. In 2005, Natasha followed through by becoming the first captain of the Varsity Bruins while leading the team in points, also playing a pivotal role in the selection committee deciding on Shane Bascoe as the coach, a move that led to Sheridan winning three consecutive OCAA titles and becoming the first OCAA team to make the national final. Continually, Natasha Dixon played Varsity Indoor Soccer and Varsity Basketball while succeeding in academics by completing both the Social Service Work and Early Childhood Education programs. Natasha Dixon's quiet strength and athletic skills were key to re-establishing the Bruins' commitment to gender equity and athletic excellence. For those reasons and many others, Natasha has been inducted into the Builder category.
