The Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame is accepting nominations from the public for the upcoming class of 2013.
Now in its 13th year, the non-profit Burnaby society annually celebrates the city’s best athletic accomplishments through the ages, including athletes, coaches, builders and teams.
The eventual inductees will be officially honoured in a ceremony to be held at the firefighters’ banquet hall in Metrotown on Thursday, Feb. 27.
Nominations can be made using the application form available on the hall of fame website at www.burnabysportshalloffame.ca.
If you or your sport organization know of a deserving individual or team that has brought honour to Burnaby in any one of the four categories, please take a moment to fill out the form, including as much detailed information as possible. Copies of supporting documents, such as newspaper clippings and certificates of achievements can be useful in helping the committee come to a decision.
All nominations and accompanying documents will remain the property of the committee, so do not send original items or memorabilia.
Packaged nomination forms can be dropped off at the Burnaby Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services office at Suite 101 4946 Canada Way.
For general inquiries and application forms, call Carol at 604-294-7385. For other nomination questions, contact Burnaby NOWsports editor Tom Berridge at 604-444-3022.
Deadline for nominations is Friday, Nov. 15.
To read the criteria for nomination, please go to the hall of fame website and click on the nominations icon on the far left column.
Nominations, including those on file, will be voted on by the committee members later this month.
