Meet Team 2 - Argos Cheerleaders Marielle and Leanne from Ottawa and Toronto (respectively)
Marielle challenges stereotypes and is an anti-bullying advocate. She also competed on Canada's Smartest Person and lost in the first round.

"Cheerleaders, such as Jackie and Marielle (they don’t reveal last names as part of Argo policy to protect their safety), will talk to school girls about stereotypes.
Marielle, a rookie on the team, is a chemistry student at the University of Waterloo and the only woman in her class.
“I really connect with stereotyping,” she says, “because I’m tall and blond. It’s really hard to gain respect from peers and colleagues when you are stereotyped in a specific way. I’m looked at as a Barbie. It’s hard to see past the cheerleader stereotype.”
Leanne is also an anti-bullying advocate, as well as a mental health advocate. She has done fundraisers for mental health initiatives before.

"Cheerleader Leanne all delivered powerful testimonials on the impact that bullying had on them."
That completes all our even - numbered teams!

Here comes team 9:
Anna Holtby
Found her through this video:

We believe her teammate goes by the name "Todd" but we need more research.
Leafsfan:
Team 1 is believed to be friends/workmates: Mark and Cory
Both were jets pilots at one point or another (which is where the jets reference comes from) and currently work for the same company. Mark is from Orillia, Ontario and was part of the snowbirds before. Cory appears to currently based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Mark / Corey

Thank you to Fossil who helped with this team find!
Disclaimer:We are not 100% sure about this due to the lack of images of this team available from the race
Leafsfan:
Anna is from Edmonton (and presumably so is Todd).
