NANAIMO MUSEUM  

Media Release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Nanaimo Sports Hall of Fame at Nanaimo Museum

 

This month marks the beginning of round five for the Nanaimo Sports Hall
of Fame. The Sports Hall of Fame selection panel is once again putting
out a call to the community for nominations of those people who live in,
or are from the Nanaimo area, and have made significant contributions to
sport in the city and elsewhere. Nominations are open now, till March
31, 2012.

 

The initiative to immortalize the legacies from Nanaimo's sports
community was launched in 2008 at the newly constructed Nanaimo Museum
downtown and recognizes achievement in five categories - Athlete,
Builder, Media, Pioneer, and Team. Anyone, except Sports Hall of Fame
committee and selection panel members and museum board members, can
submit a nomination for consideration. The selection panel will consider
nominations from the current year as well as nominations from previous
induction years.

 

``If you're thinking of nominating someone for the Sports Hall of Fame,
but feel they may have already been nominated, we would ask that you
call us here at the museum to find out for certain,`` says Debbie
Trueman, general manager of the museum.  Also, it is a good thing to
have more than one nomination for any nominee.

 

In order to help the selection panel better understand the career of the
individual or team being nominated, they are asking for as much
information as possible about the nominee's sports background, and that
any pertinent sources are attached to the nomination form. The
nomination form is available online at www.nanaimomuseum.ca
<http://www.nanaimomuseum.ca/>  and at the front desk of the Nanaimo
museum. The Sports Hall of Fame exhibit is located in the lobby and
includes plaques, video, images and sports paraphernalia spanning
decades, and is now a focal point on Vancouver Island for all those who
love sports.

 

Please post completed application forms to Nanaimo Museum, 100 Museum
Way, Nanaimo BC, V9R 5J8, or drop them off at the Nanaimo Museum or
email your application to Debbie at nanaimomuseum.ca
