Banff Sports Hall of Fame

Welcome to the Banff Sports Hall of Fame

The Banff Sports Hall of Fame began honouring Banff’s premier athletes, sport and mountain leisure pioneers and builders in 2005. Since then, twenty inductions into the Hall of Fame have taken place in recognition of the inductees  achievements and contributions to sport and mountain leisure in Banff National Park.

The mission of the Banff Sports Hall of Fame is threefold:

• to honour individuals from Banff National Park who have distinguished themselves in sport and mountain leisure
• to assist in the development of future contribution to athletic pursuits
• to promote our inductees to both residents and visitors of Banff National Park
  

The Banff Sports Hall of Fame hosts an Induction Dinner and Fundraiser every two years. We have also established a permanent display honouring the inductees, for residents and visitors to enjoy.

Hall of Fame categories include:

• Athlete: direct participant in sport or mountain leisure
• Builder: conducting athletes in a leadership capacity... coach, trainer, manager, official, administrator, etc.
• Pioneer: athletes or builders that made a significant impact on the development of sport within Banff National Park more than fifty years before the current date
• Achievement: an athlete, team, organization or event that is of significant and unique importance to the ideals of the Banff Sports Hall of Fame
