Chloe Weatherston-Pierre is a vibrant example of the dreams and hopes of the Clan Logan Society of Canada. The love of tradition, the dream of getting more youth involved in our Scottish Clans, and finally the passion given towards something as important as Scottish dance.We strongly value such commitment. Hoc majorum Virtus, this is the valour of our ancestors. There is great valour in hard work and following our dreams with passion to advance, make others proud of us as people for what we have accomplished and honourably reap the well deserved reward. We would love to thank Chloe Weatherston-Pierre for demonstrating her love for Scottish culture. She is a young lady that made all of us very proud, a true inspiration to any Logan. We wish her much success for the future.
