NOVA SCOTIA SPORT HALL OF FAME ANNOUNCES INDUCTEE CLASS OF 2024
The Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame is pleased to announce its 2024 inductee class. Four athletes, one team and two builders will be celebrated for their outstanding contributions to Nova Scotia sport.
Top-ranked heavyweight boxer, CFL Star, 2-time Vanier Cup Champion, 1992 Olympian, and CIAU National Champion are all accolades that can be used to describe this year’s athlete inductees, and the 2024 class will also include a legendary coach and a trailblazer in the world of sport medicine.
The athletes who will be enshrined are former professional boxer and heavyweight contender Kirk Johnson, former CFL defensive back Dwayne Provo, 1976 and 1977 Vanier Cup winning quarterback Jamie Bone, and 1992 Olympic kayaker Leslie-Anne Young. The Hall will also welcome the 1990 Acadia Axewomen CIAU Championship-winning soccer team. In the builder category, legendary hockey coach Danny Flynn and sport medicine leader Dr. Christina Atkinson will be inducted.
Induction Night 2024 will take place on Saturday, November 9 at 7pm, at the Lighthouse Arts Centre in Halifax.
For the 25th consecutive year, the ceremony will be hosted by Hall of Fame CEO and CBC broadcaster Bruce Rainnie, and, thanks to a continuing partnership with Eastlink Community TV, this will be the fifth year that the ceremony will be broadcast live.
