Sports Hall of Fame
The Initiative to immortalize the legacies from Nanaimo’s sports community was launched in 2008 and recognizes achievement in five categories – Athlete, Builder, Media, Trailblazer (Pioneer), and Team.
Located in the lobby of the museum, the Sports Hall of Fame is free to view and showcases Nanaimo’s talented and dedicated sporting community. Nominations to the SHOF are accepted year-round, and the Induction Ceremonies happen every second year.
The next induction ceremony will be in 2024 (specific dates to be announced). We previously postponed the ceremony in order to allow for an in-person celebration where inductees and their friends & family are able to join us here at the museum again, and now want to ensure that nominations have an entire year to be collected.
Please email manager@nanaimomuseum.ca or call 250-753-1821 with inquiries and to avoid multiple nominations for the same nominee.
