Tribute to Pointe-Claire Olympians

In a press release sent out by the City of Pointe-Claire, four local Olympians were celebrated on August 22, 2024, for their achievements in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. 

The athletes being honoured were: 

• Serena Browne, water polo player 

• Patrick Hussey, swimmer (represented by his parents) 

• Caeli McKay, diver 

• Nathan Zsombor-Murray, diver 

Mayor Tim Thomas invited coaches, city councillors, members of the city's sports clubs, and employees who contributed to the success of our Olympians to a special ceremony held at the Baie-de-Valois Nautical Centre. 

Each athlete was presented with an honorary plaque and a personalized gift in recognition of their accomplishments. The event also put the spotlight on the work of the coaches from the Aquatic Club who have played an essential role in preparing these athletes to reach the highest levels of sport. 

The evening’s celebration later continued at the Pointe-Claire Aquatic Centre, where the athletes had the opportunity to meet the public for an autograph session. Over 200 people turned out to congratulate them. 

It is with the utmost pride that both the City of Pointe-Claire and The Pointe-Claire Record acknowledge the immense talent of these young athletes, whose accomplishments are an inspiration to us all.
