The Fort Frances Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 2012 with a mission to preserve and honour the area’s rich and proud sports heritage. Since the inaugural induction event in 2015, 14 athletes, 19 builders and 9 teams have been honoured for their outstanding accomplishments and contributions to a wide variety of sports. There are many sports with incredible athletes, teams and builders of sport that are underrepresented in the Hall of Fame including but not limited to basketball, bowling, figure skating, golf, gymnastics, soccer, softball, skeet shooting, squash, swimming, track and field, volleyball, and wrestling.

Inductee plaques may be viewed on the Hall of Fame Facebook page and in the lobby of the Memorial Sports Centre 740 Scott Street. The Hall of Fame is grateful to local craftsman Stan Blasky who built the display cabinets and to the Ice for Kids Committee who paid for them.
