Colleen Coderre

Colleen Coderre brings over 25 years of experience in sport communications and sport management, supporting dozens of sport organizations across Canada. For the past eight years, she has operated her own communications consulting business, collaborating with sport leaders to develop comprehensive communications plans, overseeing and managing social media content, and serving as a trusted media relations professional. Prior to that, she spent more than a decade with Sail Canada in Kingston, Ontario, serving as a Communications Manager.

In addition, Colleen has served as a media attaché for Team Canada at four Olympic Games (2012–2024), two Pan American Games (2015, 2023), and the 2016 Paralympic Games. Representing Team Canada has been a career highlight, reminding Colleen of the power of sport to inspire. She loves dedicating her career to sport because it is so much more than just competition - everyone has a story to tell - the glory of winning, the grace in losing, the learning in trying, and the strength in continuing. 

Colleen is passionate about helping organizations uncover and amplify their authentic voice—from grassroots to high performance—ensuring messaging remains relatable, relevant, and resonant. She also specializes in crisis communications, guiding organizations through complex challenges with clarity, compassion and confidence.

She holds a bachelor’s degree from Brock University’s School of Physical Education and a Master’s in Sport Management from the University of Ottawa.

A lifelong athlete, Colleen is always up for a new challenge—you’ll often find her out for a run or signing up for her next 10km, half marathon, marathon or something even more extreme like The Canadian Death Race. 

She lives in Kingston with her husband, daughter, and their dog, Ray the retriever.
