“We are proud of what the Hall of Fame has come to represent; Excellence, Achievement and Class,” said Mark Samuel, Chairman of the Jump Canada Hall of Fame. “We thank BMO Financial Group for their on-going and steadfast support, and look forward to another fantastic evening of celebration and entertainment.”
The sixth annual Jump Canada Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Gala will be part of a black-tie gala and dinner, followed for the first time by live music and dancing, held in the elegant Governor’s Room at Toronto’s Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex at Exhibition Place.
The Hall of Fame Gala has quickly grown into an annual favourite and has been a sell-out in each of its first five years. Friends and associates will be on hand to present the distinct Hall of Fame awards, making for a very special evening recalling the sport’s greatest memories. Induction and acceptance speeches regularly run the gamut from factual to humorous to poignant.
