Induction and Inductees

Since 1966, the BC Sports Hall of Fame has inducted 310 individuals and 54 teams. Once inducted, these individuals become known as Honoured Members and the teams are known as Honoured Teams of the BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum. The five major induction categories, each with their own set of criteria, comprise: Athlete, Builder, Pioneer, Media and Team.

The Induction Process

The annual nomination deadline is October 1. Any individual or association may submit a nomination with the following exceptions:
  • A current Member of the BC Sports Hall of Fame Selection Committee may not submit a nomination.
  • A member of the BC Sports Hall of Fame Board of Trustees may submit a nomination but if the Trustee submits a nomination, that Trustee may not vote on that nomination if and when it is brought to the Board of Trustees for approval.
  • Each nomination is eligible for three (3) consecutive years. If at the end of three (3) consecutive years of eligibility, a nomination has not been selected for induction, the nomination must sit inactive for a period of one (1) year after which the nomination can be resubmitted.
