Action photos and biographies chronicle the achievements of Mississauga's greatest athletes, coaches and sport builders. In addition to the virtual Sports Hall of Fame you can explore here, there is also a tribute to our sport heroes under development at the Sports Complex(Hershey SportZone). “Mississauga is a young city in terms of time, but one with deep roots and proud sports heritage and athletic achievements that go back long before we became a city” says Hall of Fame committee chairman Mike Toth. “It is essential to preserve the best of the past for future generations. The new complex that will house our Hall of Fame will allow us to showcase a significant segment of our sports legacy with pride and in a dignified surrounding it deserves.
Development of the new interactive Hall of Fame is already underway. Design is focused on blending mixed media throughout the public areas of the facility. Elements will include a wall of fame; exhibit cabinets and displays; memorabilia; interactive touch screens and video monitors. “We’ve started with exhibit cabinets at the north end of the lobby, says Mississauga Sports Council’s Past-Chair, and Sports Hall of Famer, Chuck Ealey. “We are currently working on adding larger action photos around the exhibits, with more exhibits to follow(at a later date). In the meantime, we are working on the Wall of Fame between the sports field and gymnasium. With support from the City of Mississauga, the Sports Council, its many volunteers ,community partners and sponsors are working to provide the public with a glimpse of our sports legacy, all free of charge.
"Later in the year, we will add interactive displays" says MSC president Lisa Alexander. "Touch screens that will provide action videos and photos capturing some great moments in time, along with sports videos and slideshows. Our Mississauga Sports Hall of Fame "Hazel McCallion" Physical Education Program is a big hit with young and young at heart groups. The program is designed to bring students into the sports complex to learn about our local sports history, have a Hall of Famer chat, and engage them in a physical activity. We want to encourage a positive attitude and healthy body.” Special thanks to the City of Mississauga and the Ontario Trillium Foundation for their support of our community engagement initiatives!
