Michelin employs 3,500 people across Nova Scotia including 1,300 in Waterville and just over 1,000 in Bridgewater.

VIDEO: Olympian Visits Kippers Gymnastics Club

A 16-year-old Olympian says she's impressed with what she sees at Kippers Gymnastics Club in Bridgewater.

One of Black's training partners, 11-year-old Vincent d'Entremont, says it's great to train alongside an Olympian.
