New Sports Hall of Fame in Georgina

It will honour athletes and community leaders who have made a lasting impact on sports at home and beyond.

Georgina is creating a new Sports Hall of Fame.

This new program has been created to honour and recognize the achievements of local athletes and sports leaders whose dedication has made a remarkable contribution to sport within the community.

“The Georgina Sports Hall of Fame will serve as a lasting tribute to the athletes and builders whose achievements have shaped our town’s sporting identity,” said Mayor Margaret Quirk.

The celebrity sports centre will honour people who have dedicated their lives to sports in the community, she said.

“Their legacy will live on in not only in records and victories, but in the spirit of teamwork, perseverance and pride that will continue to inspire future generations,” Quirk said.

The new sports hall of fame will be showcased through an interactive display located at the Multi-Use Recreation Complex, as well through a web‑based platform.

This will enable residents and visitors to explore inductees’ stories, achievements and historic milestones.

In addition, a second mobile unit is also being planned that will move around to other facilities.

The Hall of Fame will induct individuals in two categories:

Athletes

• Who have demonstrated outstanding success in their sport

Sports builders

• Coaches, officials, volunteers, executives and others who have made significant contributions to sport development

Georgina town staff are accepting nominations for the inaugural 2026 induction year.

Nominations must be submitted before April 2.

The town is also recruiting volunteers for the Georgina Sports Hall of Fame working group, that will support promotion, community engagement, event planning and research related to potential inductees.

The inaugural induction ceremony will take place later this year, honouring the first class of inductees and celebrating Georgina’s new Team Honour Roll.
