The best in North Okanagan sports from the past year have been honoured.
The 25th annual Tim Hortons awards were handed out Tuesday night.
Long time Vernon Vipers owner Duncan Wray — who passed away in January — was posthumously awarded the leadership award.
His daughter Erica accepted it for the family.
“To see the impact he’s had on the community as a whole and on the hockey team specifically — and for athletes in general — it’s really special to me to see the legacy live on,” Erica told Beach Radio News.
Wray says her family is carrying on ownership of the Vipers, with her mom, Libby, the new owner.
“There is definitely a learning curve, but it’s something that was so important to my dad, and it’s important to the whole family to see it succeed and see his legacy live on,” adds Erica.
The awards are chosen by a panel of community and media representatives, including Funtastic founder John Topping, Tim Hortons franchisee Dan Currie, former city councillor Jack Gilroy, Ken Richardson, Kevin Mitchell, Josh Winquist, Betty Selin, and Pete McIntyre.
