Niagara River Lions President Michelle Biskup has been named the 2025 St. Catharines Sportsperson of the Year. She will be honoured at a ceremony Monday, March 9 at St. Catharines City Hall.
The award recognizes outstanding leadership and contributions to sport and the community.
Biskup has been with the River Lions organization for more than a decade and was appointed president in late 2024 after serving four years as vice president.
Her recognition also marks a milestone for the city, as both the Sportsperson of the Year and Athlete of the Year awards were presented to women this year, with Madalyn Weinert receiving the athlete honour.
