The BC Sports Hall of Fame is a non profit organization dedicated to inspiring excellence through the stories of British Columbia's sports heroes. The inspiration for the Hall is its honoured members and the collection of artifacts and stories of their challenges and triumphs from over 100 years. We inspire, educate and entertain through our educational programs, entitled the Hero In You. On line lesson plans provide teachers from grades 3 to 7 with curriculum-based content to teach students to set goals, develop a personal plan and puruse their dreams through inspirational stories of our Honoured Members. Field trips provide students and community groups with interactive, experiential tours of our galleries, including the Rick Hansen, Terry Fox, Greg Moore and Olympic Inspiration Galleries. Our On the Road teams share the stories of our heroes and our collection with communities and schools across the province, currently reaching 92% of the school districts in BC.

Above all, we aim to leave you with stories that stick somewhere in your heart, your brain, or your guts.
