Beach volleyballers Mark Heese and John Child have won the Canadian National Championship eight times, and were Bronze medalists at the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996. That was the inaugural year for beach volleyball as an Olympic sport. The pair are operating a beach volleyball camp this summer in Ashbridges Bay.
