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 is set to happen in November of 2021. Due to COVID-19 precautions, this year the ceremony will be in a high quality, pre-recorded, virtual production format that will be live-streamed on our social channels. This means that the public will have a chance to view the induction ceremony for the first time since the launch of the Hall of Fame!

Please email manager@nanaimomuseum.ca or call 250-753-1821 with inquiries and to avoid multiple nominations for the same nominee.
