Porter is one of just 12 athletes selected from across the country for the national team, which will compete at the Global Youth Sevens in Auckland, New Zealand, from December 18th to 20th.

The international tournament, held at Dilworth School in Epsom, brings together some of the top U18 boys’ and girls’ rugby sevens players from around the world, giving young athletes an opportunity to showcase their talent on a global stage.

Porter, who plays for the Peterborough Pagans U18 Girls rugby team, has already enjoyed success representing her province in another sport.

This past summer, she helped Team Ontario capture gold at the 2026 U18 Women’s Tackle National Championship in Regina, Saskatchewan, scoring three touchdowns in the championship game against Quebec.

Now, Porter will take another major step in her athletic journey, this time wearing the maple leaf and representing Canada against international competition.
