KENILWORTH – The Township of Wellington North will be recognizing athlete achievements through the introduction of the Recognition of Outstanding Sports Achievements Program.
The program will provide council an opportunity to recognize sports teams based in Wellington North, or athletes who are residents of Wellington North, who have won a championship or award at a provincial, national or international level. It also recognizes those who have achieved the highest championship or award possible in their sport.
Teams chosen to be recognized will be invited to a council meeting, where they will be presented with a certificate signed by the mayor.
They will also have their photo taken with council to be shared with the community on social media and local media outlets and be recognized for their accomplishments in a public forum.
“The Township of Wellington North is home to several successful athletes and sports teams, and they represent our Township positively beyond our borders,” stated Mayor Andy Lennox.
“Council, staff and residents of Wellington North are proud of the accomplishments of our local athletes, and we look forward to recognizing them through the Township’s Recognition of Outstanding Sports Achievements Program.”
The policy outlining the criteria of the program, as well as an application form to recommend teams and athletes for recognition, can be found at wellington-north.com.
