Dr. Elizabeth "Liz" Ashton (born 16 March 1950) was a member of the Canadian Equestrian Team for Eventing, best known for captaining Canada's gold medal team at the 1978 Eventing World Championship.[citation needed] She was also chosen for Canada's team at the 1980 Summer Olympics, but did not compete due to the Canadian Olympic Committee's decision to boycott those Games.[citation needed] She did compete at the 1984 Summer Olympics.[1]
Ashton has also served as president of Victoria's Camosun College since 1994.[citation needed]
She was awarded the 125th Anniversary of the Confederation Medal in 1992 and the Majesty Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee medal in 2003.[citation needed]
