Residents are invited to join the City of Greater Sudbury for a celebration to welcome home and congratulate local Olympic athletes who represented Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Join us on April 15 in the outdoor courtyard of Tom Davies Square to celebrate local Olympians Rebecca Johnston, Meagan Duhamel, Devon Kershaw and Chris Del Bosco. The community celebration and barbecue starts at 11 a.m.
Wear red and white to show your Canadian pride and support for local Olympic athletes and their families.
Four flags will be available for residents to sign. The flags will be presented to each athlete to say thank you for representing Greater Sudbury and Canada on the Olympic stage.
The flags will be available for signing in the foyer of Tom Davies Square from now until 11 a.m. on April 15.
Women's Hockey Gold Medalist Rebecca Johnston and Team Figure Skating Event Silver Medalist Meagan Duhamel will be attending the celebration.
