Cornwall Mayor Justin Towndale presented Ontario Winter Games Legacy Awards to three graduating student-athletes on Monday, July 27, 2026. Annabella Curtis, Sarah Delves, and Kaleb “Kai” Morrow were honoured during a ceremony in council chambers for their outstanding athletic achievements and community contributions.
Curtis, a graduate of École secondaire catholique La Citadelle, competed at three OFSAA cross-country championships and three OFSAA track-and-field championships. She holds several SDG records and has been accepted into the bachelor of kinesiology program at the University of Toronto.
Delves, from St. Joseph’s Catholic Secondary School, played basketball, volleyball, soccer, football, and ultimate Frisbee. She captained her school basketball team to Eastern Ontario championship appearances and her Cornwall Lions team to provincials. Delves is entering the bachelor of science in nursing program at St. Lawrence College.
Morrow also attended St. Joseph’s and has accepted academic and athletic scholarships to study mechanical engineering at the University of Maine. He maintained a 96 percent academic average while captaining the Panthers’ cross-country and ultimate Frisbee teams. Morrow placed second in the 1,500-metre run at the national level and appeared at OFSAA cross-country four times. He was unable to attend the ceremony.
Recreation Manager Lori Gibeau read each recipient’s citation during the event. Curtis and Delves signed the city’s book of recognition. Each award includes a $1,500 bursary.
The Ontario Winter Games Legacy Awards were established in 1994 to support amateur athlete development in Ontario. The awards carry on the legacy of the Ontario Winter Games held in Cornwall and Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry in 1993.
