Eganville’s Melissa Bishop has been nominated to be one of 2016’s most influential women in sport and physical activity.

Bishop came fourth in the 800-metre-dash during the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke MP Cheryl Gallant has nominated Bishop to be one of 20 women chosen for the honour from the Canadian Association for the Advancement of Women in Sport and Physical Activity. Gallant says Bishop is a positive role model for youth in the Ottawa Valley.

The list will be published in early 2017.
