The City of Nanaimo will recognize residents who were awarded outstanding achievements in sports or arts and culture last year.
Specifically, the City wants to highlight individuals or groups who received international, national, western Canadian or provincial first place honours.
“There is a great sense of pride for each of Nanaimo’s winning performances by Nanaimo’s athletes, teams and performing artists. Their hard work and accomplishments bring recognition to our community as they compete at provincial, national and international stages,” says mayor Leonard Krog. “Council is honoured to acknowledge and celebrate their outstanding achievements, and we look forward to honouring them at our November 17 council meeting.”
To be eligible, potential recipients must be residents of Nanaimo and must have placed first or received highest standing in their field of endeavour. Additionally, the achievements cannot be something that was paid for.
The deadline for applications is September 22. Recipients will get a certificate of congratulations and a medallion at the November 17th city council meeting.
Applications can be found on the city’s website.
