Nominations are now open to recognize an Airdrie elite athlete.

Mayor Peter Brown said this is a great way to recognize local athletes that compete hard and give back.

"Elite Athlete recognizes local Airdronians who have obtained an exceptional level of athletic achievement and made significant contributions to the Airdrie community. The athletes who are selected have their achievements publicly recognized and proudly displayed at Genesis Place for life."

Past honourees include martial artist Emily Lambert, gymnasts Corissa Boychuk and Janelle Desmarais-Moen, Olympic luger Eric Pothier, curler Keely Brown, and arm-wrestler and City Councillor Darrell Belyk.

The nomination deadline is January 15, 2018.
