The pandemic got in the way, so the classes of 2020 and 2022 were inducted June 14 at the Caruso Club
Sudbury’s Caruso Club was filled to the brim with Sudbury’s best athletes on June 14, as the Sudbury Sports Hall of Fame welcomed its first new slate of inductees since the pandemic began.
“I had to take today off for this induction or else I'd be working right now, we have so many forest fires going on now,” she said. Now a dispatcher and radio operator, she dispatches helicopters, water bombers, fire crews. “I'm monitoring them in and out on a constant basis, making sure people are safe.”
She said that part of her success as a firefighter is what she learned growing up. “It’s a high-pressure job, but I'm used to pressure because I was an athlete,” she said. John Beedell became a part of the Sudbury Canoe CLub in the 1950s after moving to Canada from New Zealand and went on to the world championships in Prague 1958 and the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.
Gilles Lafrance, winner of three medals at Paralympic Games and holder of two world records told Sudbury.com that he stills runs, without injury. He’s proud to say he won his first race at 18, and his last at 48, but you won’t see him stopping anytime soon.
