About the BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum

The BC Sports Hall of Fame has re-opened at Gate “A” of BC Place with a new
Vancouver 2010 Gallery and a new Hall of Champions and is open daily from
10am-5pm. The BC Sports Hall of Fame, a non-profit society, is the ‘go to’
organization for BC sport heritage. For over 40 years, we have honoured BC’s
teams, builders, athletes, pioneers, and media through the annual induction
ceremony the Banquet of Champions. To date 325 individuals and 54 teams have
been inducted onto the BC Sports Hall of Fame. The collection of the BC
Sports Hall of Fame and Museum includes over 25,000 artifacts and 20,000
archival documents representing 100 years of sporting accomplishments in
British Columbia. In everything it does, the BC Sports Hall of Fame honours,
educates, and inspires through the Hero In You© educational program.
