User:Zanimum/Brampton Sports Hall of Fame

Criteria
Active and posthumous inductions also are included.

Induction ceremonies
Initially, inductees were not publicly announced until the night of the awards dinner. That changed by the 1989 ceremonies, to allow for better promotion. Inductions have taken place at Century Gardens Recreation Centre (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1995), at Brampton Centre for Sports and Entertainment, at Garden Banquet Centre (2003), and Pearson Convention Centre (2004).

Facility
As of 2005, the hall of fame was located at Brampton Centre for Sports and Entertainment (later known as Powerade Centre, and currently known as CAA Centre.) During a record-attendance hockey game at the facility, the lights were off, leading then-Mayor of Brampton Susan Fennell to question the facility and the composition of its committee membership.

In 2008, council asked staff to negotiate space in 50 Main Street South, on the Peel Heritage Complex (PHC) grounds. Alternate locations included Alderlea and Heritage Theatre. New artifact donations were to be directed to PHC.

Committee
Noted Hall committee members have included councillor Frank Russell, chair for 25 years. councillor Everett Coates, involved in its founding, and Ken Giles, sports reporter. Members were once known as governors.
