Penrith City Council will hold a special event to recognise the incredible Gold Medal efforts of sisters Jessica and Noemie Fox in Paris.
Council has confirmed it will hold a Civic Event for all local Olympic and Paralympic athletes at a date yet to be confirmed.
Penrith Mayor Todd Carney said the city had ridden the Fox sisters’ journey all the way.
“This is a special moment for Jessica and Noemie, and one that our City has been invested in,” Carney said.
“At the age of six and three the Fox sisters were at the Olympic venue in Penrith, which as we know now, has served their training well to become gold medal athletes.”
The news of the local event comes as the State Government confirms it will hold a major celebration for Olympic and Paralympic athletes on Friday, September 13 in the city.
