Many mention that it took a while to get this underway or at least to the completion stage, but never fear, it’s here and all we have to do is get the public to visit this exceptional new Indigenous Sport Gallery

The public are invited to visit the BC Sports Hall of Fame’s new Indigenous Sport Gallery that will see the doors open September 26th, at Gate A at BC Place Stadium.

The Indigenous Sport Gallery celebrates the rich history and many contributions to sport by First Nations and Métis athletes, teams, coaches, builders and volunteers in BC, and attempts to remedy the fact that Indigenous athletes and teams have not been properly celebrated and honoured over the course of our province’s history.

The Indigenous Sport Gallery will feature over 1,000 square feet of permanent exhibit space, including: information about traditional Indigenous games; artefacts and memorabilia from Indigenous athletes in all levels of sport; a feature on the North American Indigenous Games; and a dedicated space, the Circle of Champions, which honours the Indigenous athletes that have been formally Inducted to the BC Sports Hall of Fame.
