There are many ways to support the Hall of Fame

Posted by on

The Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame is excited to be celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2026.

The Hall of Fame was officially opened on October 31, 1966, by Saskatchewan’s Lieutenant Governor R.L. Hanbidge and Frank J. Selke, who had just ended his 18-year tenure as the general manager of the Montreal Canadiens. The SSHF has several exciting events and initiatives that will be announced in the coming weeks and months.

In the meantime, a simple — yet powerful — way to support the Hall of Fame is by purchasing a membership. A healthy membership base demonstrates how deeply Saskatchewan values its sport heritage and it strengthens our case for an even brighter future. Annual memberships are affordable, easy to renew, and the best way to show that you believe in the importance of the work of the Hall of Fame to preserve and share Saskatchewan’s rich sport history.

By becoming a member, you are playing a direct role in supporting educational programs, maintaining the collection of over 19,000 artifacts, and ensuring that the stories of our province’s sporting heroes continue to inspire future generations. Memberships are $35 per year for individuals or $50 per year for a family. Members receive exclusive Invitations to exhibit openings and other special events hosted at or by the SSHF. Members also receive unlimited access to the SSHF and a subscription to the For The Record newsletter.

Other ways that you can support the SSHF include ongoing monthly donations, a one-time ‘Sport Investor Club’ donation, or you may consider planned giving options, including the newly established SSHF Shelia Kelly Legacy Fund. This endowed fund ensures a sustainable future for the SSHF. To learn more about this new fund, you can read more below or call the Hall directly at 306-780-9232.

For The Record : November – December 2012

Recently we held our annual reception where President, Hugh Vassos, had an opportunity to thank the many individuals who have invested in our organization over the past year. Inductees, financial donors and sponsors, and volunteers were in attendance to celebrate the season and hear about the current state of the Hall, as well as where the Board of Directors saw things headed in the near future.

It is always exciting to see so many good people out and hear so many good things surrounding what we do with respect to the sports history of this province. There were a few drinks poured and some great appetizers were had as everyone in attendance took the opportunity to mingle, meet a few new faces and share their experiences with the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame. Special thanks to our Reception sponsors Boston Pizza South, Molson Canadian and E & J Gallo Winery.

For those of you who were not in attendance on this night, worry not, as we are more than happy to share all of our news and happenings with you through the latest release of “For The Record”, our newsletter which chronicles all of the happenings at The Saskatchewan Sports Hall Of Fame. The November/December edition is available for download here as a PDF file.

For the Record November/December

We encourage you to come down and visit us on Location at 2205 Victoria Avenue, where our exhibits are constantly changing…..literally. Lorrie likes nothing better than to switch up the exhibits in mid-run to keep more of our permanent collection out in the public eye. On now through the end of December is “Court is in Session”.
