Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to Receive Keys to Kingston

The Kingston and St. Andrew Municipal Corporation, KSAMC, on Wednesday passed a resolution to present multiple Olympic and World Champion, Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce with the Keys to the City of Kingston.

Moving the resolution, Councillor for the Hagley Park Division, Waynette Strachan said Fraser-Pryce has transcended the boundaries of sport to become an icon, a symbol of hope and an ambassador for Jamaica’s rich and vibrant culture.

She says, conferring her with the Keys to Kingston is to acknowledge not only her incredible achievements as an athlete but her profound influence as a role model and mentor.

Mrs. Fraser-Pryce is revered as one of the world’s greatest athletes.

In a 22 year career she has won three Olympic gold medals and 10 gold medals at the World Championships.

Fraser Pryce was born and raised in Waterhouse, St Andrew.

Councillor for the Waterhouse Division, Bryon Lee Clarke, says the gesture is more than deserving.

The presentation of the Keys to the City of Kingston is the highest honour that can be bestowed by the KSAMC.

A road in the community of Waterhouse will also be named in her honour.
