The Jump Canada Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Gala, presented by BMO Financial Group, will be held on Sunday, November 8, 2015, at the Liberty Grand in Toronto, ON.
The Jump Canada Hall of Fame was created in 2006 to recognize outstanding contributions to hunter/jumper sport. To date, 49 champions have been welcomed into the Hall of Fame, including 18 horses and ponies, 22 humans, five organizations, and four teams.
This year’s celebrated inductees will be:
Builder (Organization) – Equestrian Management Group
Builder (Individual) – Moffat Dunlap
Coach – Doug Hood (posthumously)
Jumper Horse – Rio Grande, owned by Augustin and Christine Walch
“We are thrilled to welcome four deserving new inductees into the Hall of Fame,” said Mark Samuel, Chairman of the Jump Canada Hall of Fame.
“Each has contributed to the success of our industry and has helped to establish the strong foundation that we enjoy today. Congratulations to all!”
The ninth annual Jump Canada Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Gala will be part of a black-tie gala and dinner, including live music and dancing, held in the elegant Centennial Room at Toronto’s Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex at Exhibition Place.
The Jump Canada Hall of Fame Gala has quickly grown into an annual favourite and each edition has been a sell-out. Videos commemorating each inductee’s contributions to the sport are a highlight of the evening, and friends and associates present the distinct Hall of Fame awards, making for a very special evening recalling the sport’s greatest memories. Induction and acceptance speeches run the gamut from factual to humorous to poignant.

To purchase tickets, please visit the Jump Canada Hall of Fame website. PLEASE NOTE: Hall of Fame tickets will ONLY be sold on-line through an easy-to-use credit card system.
