Highlights
“Our 2021 inductees will represent Nepean’s finest in the categories of athlete, coach, builder and media, and we can’t wait to unveil them,” said board chair Gavin Leishman. “Two years ago, we hosted close to 300 people at the Sportsplex for the 2019 induction ceremony, and this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, we’re inviting everyone to save the date and watch the event unfold online for the first time.”
“I’m a big believer in the value of local sport, from the playground to the podium, and so I’m delighted to be involved in the ceremony this year,” said Rosey Edeh. “I’m looking forward to telling the inspirational stories of these outstanding community role models of Nepean.”
The Wall of Fame, launched in 1985, is in the lobby of the Nepean Sportsplex on Woodroffe Ave.
