“Rogers Media is proud to partner with Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, and support the legacy of excellence that has been established,” said Keith Pelley, President, Rogers Media Inc. “Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame is a great inspiration for Canada’s future athletes who strive to be the best.”
Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame boasts 514 inductees, featuring amateur and professional athletes, plus sports builders representing 58 sports. The Hall will open its new state-of-the-art facility at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary on Canada Day, Friday, July 1st.
“As we prepare to open the doors to our new home in Calgary, we are thrilled to partner with Rogers Media to help tell these incredibly inspiring stories with all Canadians and visitors to our country,” said Claire Buffone-Blair, President and Chief Executive Officer, Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame. “Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame is committed to promoting the importance of sport to Canadian culture, families and communities by sharing the compelling stories of our outstanding achievements in Canadian sport.”
