About Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and Beyond the Win – Hall of Famers on Tour education program: Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame is a Registered Charitable Organization and has been a vital cultural institution in Canada for the past 64 years. Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame is one of North America’s oldest sports museums with the focus of recognition, education, tourism, curation and thought leadership. We are Canada’s only national museum of sport.
Beyond the Win – Hall of Famers on Tour, launched by Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame in 2019, are free, assembly-style education presentations where Hall of Famers share their stories of how they’ve reached the pinnacle of their careers and are going “beyond their wins” to champion good in their communities. This curriculum-aligned program creates a lasting educational impact by teaching youth that performance is more than strength, speed and agility – it’s integrity, empathy and optimism.
Our aim is to build Canada through sport. Visit sportshall.ca to learn more about our national education programs, corporate and private facility rentals, and upcoming events.
