Premier’s Athletic Awards (Softball)
The Premier’s Athletic Awards were held in a virtual ceremony on Tuesday, June 23, 2020.
The Premier’s Athletic Awards Program recognizes athletic excellence and provides financial support to help offset the costs of training and competition. Ranging from $500 to $1500, grants are awarded based on the athletes’ respective accomplishments and their level of competition.
The Team Gushue Awards were also presented, which are in honour of Team Gushue’s Gold Medal win at the 2006 Winter Olympics. Valued at $5000 each, the awards are presented annually to one male and one female who excel both athletically and academically.
