The city of Belleville took the first step last night in honouring its very own Olympian…Brian Price.
At last night’s city council meeting Mayor Neil Ellis presented the “Key to the City” to Price, a member of Canada’s gold-medal men’s-8 rowing team at the Beijing Summer Olympics. Price said he’s always proud to let the world know he’s from Belleville. He says he wants people to understand you can realize your dreams even if you’re from a small city. Brian Price’s gold medal made the rounds of the council table as he accepted the key to the city.
