Travelling Mobile Exhibit is on the road this summer!

Posted by on

The Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame will be hitting the road this summer!

The Hall’s Travelling Mobile Exhibit will be making five stops around the province as we bring the great stories of Saskatchewan’s sporting legends to the people of the province. The Travelling Mobile Exhibit is in a converted 53-foot semi-trailer filled to the brim with artifacts.

Created in 2016 as the Hall celebrated its 50th anniversary, the exhibits have been refreshed this year as we prepare to hit the road to celebrate the Hall’s 60th anniversary. It is free to visit the Travelling Mobile Exhibit, though donations are also welcome!

 

The first stop will be at the RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina on Canada Day, July 1, from 2-5 p.m. Special posters celebrating Saskatchewan’s great Indigenous athletes will also be on display in tipi on site and the SSHF staff will be handing out stickers honouring those Indigenous inductees and the Hall’s 60th anniversary.

On July 18-19, the mobile exhibit will be in Saskatoon at the Western Major Baseball League’s All-Star weekend.

The following week – July 26-28 – the trailer will head up to the Battlefords for the Tony Cote Games. Once again the Indigenous inductee posters will be on display – including one for Tony Cote himself.

For the second straight year, the trailer will be at Shake the Lake in front of the Conexus Arts Centre in Regina on August 19, 21 and 22.

Finally, the trailer will also be appearing at the Hall of Fame’s 2026 Induction Dinner & Ceremony at the Conexus Arts Centre.

The mobile exhibit trailer is unique amongst halls of fame in Canada and allows the SSHF to fulfill its mandate of preserving and sharing Saskatchewan’s sport history with the entire province.

The continued use of the mobile exhibit trailer would not be possible without the funding and support of the City of Regina, Hornoi Leasing, Sterling Truck & Trailer Sales, and Saskatchewan Lotteries.

SSHF a WINNER!
