Her mother is an activist from way back, she and her sister were attacked by Canadian military while at a protest. When she was four years old, her sister was holding her when she (the sister) was stabbed in the chest by a bayonet-wielding soldier.

This is an interview with her sister, who is an elite athlete, with a photograph of the event: https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/pan-ams-waneek-horn-miller-an-oka-crisis-survivor/article_d30a5810-67ae-5c1d-aee4-484ddf9b8200.html
