Canada's Sports Hall of Fame
Canada's Sports Hall of Fame is one of the oldest Halls of Fame in North America. Canada's Sports Hall of Fame recognizes and honours Canada's sports heroes. It is the Hall's vision to inspire Canadian identity and national pride by telling the compelling stories of those outstanding achievements that make up Canada's sports history.
After the closure of the existing Canada Sports Hall of Fame in Toronto, WinSport Canada won the honour to donate part of their land to give the Canada Sport Hall of Fame a new home. The new location will be at Canada Olympic Park, across from the Markin MacPhail Centre at the Victory Plaza. The 40,000 square foot facility will be completed by February 2011 and federal, provincial and municipal governments have committed to funding this move.
