As Canada’s only national museum of sport, Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame has achieved a momentous transformation, redefining our purpose to new heights of inspiration and celebration.

We remain committed to our mission – educating all Canadians on the value, history, and culture of sport in this country – and are proud to expand the ways in which we are doing so, in the classroom, in the community, and in recognizing role models.

We continue to inspire Canadians every year from coast-to-coast-to-coast by focusing on curating experiences, content, and stories that are reaching far beyond our walls and providing us with the opportunity to reach millions across this nation.

The success story of Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame lies in its audacious reimagining of purpose. By preserving sports legacy, inspiring future generations, and showcasing the very best of Canadian sporting heritage, Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame has secured a prominent place in the hearts of sports enthusiasts nationwide.
