COVID-19 has cancelled another cherished event in Burnaby.
The Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame’s annual induction banquet has been cancelled. It was set for Feb. 25, 2021.
“In light of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and the necessary restrictions placed on gatherings to prevent its spread, the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame committee has decided to cancel its annual induction banquet,” said Grant Granger, chair of the organization.
The deadline for nominations for athletes, builders, coaches and teams to be considered for induction had been set for Nov. 20, 2020, but the committee has decided to keep the call for nominations open.
“The committee appreciates nominations that have already been received and will keep nominations open for the next induction banquet,” Granger said. “We enthusiastically encourage sporting organizations and individuals to submit new nominations for those individuals and teams who have brought honour to the Burnaby sports scene.”
