About Us

The first members of the Mississauga Sports Hall of Fame were inducted on April 4, 1975, in conjunction with the first Mississauga Sports Celebrities Dinner and Awards Night. The idea for a Sports Hall of Fame was conceived a few months earlier during committee meetings while formulating plans for the concept of an annual dinner.

The purpose of the Sports Hall of Fame is to ensure that the accomplishments of Mississauga athletes, coaches, managers and sport builders - who achieved outstanding results in their respective pursuits of excellence - are preserved for the future. In other words, it aims to make sure yesteryear's achievements and accomplishments are recognized today and not forgotten tomorrow.
