SURREY, B.C. – The Surrey Sports Hall of Fame (SSHOF) is taking significant strides towards its grand opening, with the City Council recently approving a comprehensive work plan. This plan outlines crucial steps for the Hall of Fame’s development, including the nomination process, governance structure, and the eagerly anticipated inaugural induction ceremony slated for June 2026 at City Hall.
Applications are currently being accepted for individuals interested in serving on the Advisory Board and Nominating Committee. This move aims to ensure a fair and inclusive selection process for future inductees.
“Surrey has a rich sports legacy, and it is time to bring the achievements of our amazing athletes and teams to the fore,” said Mayor Brenda Locke. “The Surrey Sports Hall of Fame is a powerful way to honor the stories, struggles, and triumphs of those who have made a lasting impact through sport. As we prepare for the Inaugural Induction Ceremony next June, I invite residents to get involved by nominating an athlete or serving on our Advisory Board or Nomination Committee.”
Nominations for the Hall of Fame’s first class will officially open in August 2025. Meanwhile, exhibit displays showcasing Surrey’s sporting history are set to be unveiled at the Museum of Surrey in Spring 2026.
The SSHOF will initially have a temporary presence at the Museum of Surrey, with additional exhibits planned for select civic facilities. The permanent home for the Surrey Sports Hall of Fame Gallery will be established at the future City Centre Arena. Designed to offer both a digital and physical experience, the SSHOF aims to celebrate the accomplishments of athletes, coaches, teams, builders, and community leaders who have significantly contributed to Surrey’s vibrant sporting history.
