The City of Burnaby is the first to declare “2015 – The Year of Women in Sport!”
Monday, Oct 6th, 2014 we attended a short but poignant ceremony where The City of Burnaby proclaimed “2015 – The Year of Women in Sport!” This took many months to materialize. We believe it will be the first of many municipalities to proclaim.
“Our city is very proud of the achievements of its amateur and professional Burnaby athletes,” says Mayor Derek Corrigan. “We look forward, through our exceptional recreational facilities and programs, to continuing to support and develop the aspirations of Burnaby citizens who participate in sports of all kinds at all levels. I am particularly proud today to proclaim 2015 the Year of Women in Sport in the City of Burnaby, as we honour the many great female athletes who have lived, trained and played in Burnaby and those will follow their inspiring lead.”
