The six rider team will be led by Karol-Ann Canuel, the three time world champion in the Team Time Trial, who makes her home in Gatineau. Canuel has finished second twice (2015 & 2017) and third once (2016) at the Gatineau time trial.

Canuel will be joined by Marie-Soleil Blais, Emily Marcoloni, Gabby Traxler and Junior-aged rider Kaitlyn Rauwerda, who recently won the Ontario road title and will be riding up a category. A second Junior rider, Simone Boilard, was also selected, but had to withdraw due to injury.
