We Remind Canadians Why Sport Matters

ABOUT US

Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame (CSHoF) is more than a Hall of Fame—it’s a national institution and registered charitable organization,  dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and sharing the profound impact of sport on Canada’s identity. Since 1955, CSHoF has served as the country’s only national museum of sport, honouring the Athletes, Builders, and Trailblazers who have  achieved greatness in competition and inspire change, strengthen communities, and lead with purpose.

As the home of Canada’s highest sporting honour, the Order of Sport, we recognize individuals who embody the values that unite our nation. Representing the breadth of Canadian sport—all disciplines, generations, and backgrounds—we strive to ensure the diverse voices and stories of sport leaders are amplified.

CSHoF is the true heartbeat of Canadian sport. We are more than a place of recognition; we are a trusted storyteller. Through curation, education, and recognition, we bring the journeys of sport leaders to life—ensuring their influence extends beyond the playing field. We’re not just preserving history; we’re inviting Canadians to engage with it, learn from it, and be inspired by it. From national education programs and digital exhibits to public nominations for the Order of Sport, we actively connect with Canadians of all ages, reinforcing why sport matters as a force for inclusion, leadership, and national pride.
