Hall of Fame Hands Out Bursaries

For the twelfth consecutive year, the Chatham Sports Hall of Fame presented a bursary to a graduating student in each of Chatham’s four secondary schools. The winner was a person who had contributed significantly to the betterment of athletics in his/her own school in a non-playing capacity. The award recognizes a student who has given his/her time unselfishly performing one or more of the following tasks – coaching, managing, scoring, timing, fundraising, or serving with the athletic society to improve the school’s athletic program.

The winners of the 2015 Chatham Sports Hall of Fame Bursaries are:

• Alex Sluys – Chatham Christian High School
• Julie Earle – Chatham-Kent Secondary School
• Raquelle Derynck – John McGregor Secondary School
• Maureen Latimer – Ursuline College Chatham

The awards, including a certificate and a $200.00 bursary, were presented to each of the students at the recent awards or athletic ceremonies at the schools. The Board of Directors of the Hall of Fame congratulates all the winners as chosen by their respective schools and wishes them well in their future endeavors.
