Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce to receive Keys to City of Kingston

Multiple-time Olympic and World Champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce is set to be presented with the Keys to the City of Kingston by the Kingston and St. Andrew Municipal Corporation (KSAMC).

The resolution to confer this honor on the sprint sensation was passed during a meeting of the Council in Kingston this week. Fraser-Pryce is widely revered as one of Jamaica’s greatest athletes, with over 22 years of stellar performances in the 60m, 100m, 200m, and 4x100m track events, earning her numerous medals. Moving the resolution, Councilor for the Hagley Park Division, Waynette Strachan, said the world-class athlete has made all of Jamaica proud and has transcended the boundaries of sport to become an icon, a symbol of hope, and an ambassador for Jamaica’s rich and vibrant culture.

“To give Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce the Keys to Kingston is to acknowledge not only her incredible achievements as an athlete but her profound influence as a role model, mentor, and beacon of hope for all Jamaicans.
