KAMLOOPS TO HOST 2024 ANNUAL SUMMIT AND GENERAL MEETING OF THE BC SPORTS HALL OF FAME
VANCOUVER (September 19th, 2023) – The 2024 Annual Summit of the BC Sports Hall of Fame will be hosted in Kamloops, B.C., by the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame, Kamloops Sports Council and PacificSport Interior, September 19th-21st, 2024.
It will mark only the third time in the now 57-year history of the BC Sports Hall of Fame & Museum Society that its AGM has been held outside of Greater Vancouver. It follows on the heels of the Kelowna 2022 Annual Summit hosted by the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame last fall and the Greater Victoria 2023 Annual Summit hosted last week by the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame.
“We’re delighted to be heading to the Tournament Capital of Canada for our 2024 Annual Summit in what will be a gathering of passionate advocates who not only believe in the power of sport but in the inspirations created by the active promotion of sport history, heritage and culture,” said Tom Mayenknecht, Chair of the BC Sports Hall of Fame.
The BC Sports Hall of Fame marked the occasion by passing a Vancouver 2010 torch from Doug Jennings, President of the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame to Ron McColl, Chair of PacificSport Interior, and Duncan Olthuis, Executive Director of the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame.
