The nominees have been officially chosen, and the City of Surrey is excited to unveil the inaugural class of inductees to the brand-new Surrey Sports Hall of Fame! Celebrating the major achievements of local athletes, the Hall of Fame is honouring these amazing individuals, teams, builders, and coaches with a ceremony on Tuesday, June 2, 2026 at City Hall– and you’re invited!
The inductees represent the rich and diverse athletic spirit of Surrey, and their commitment to their teams, sports, and communities deserves a spotlight. Be part of history as Surrey marks the beginning of a long line of future classes.
Showcasing Surrey’s Sports Stars
The Surrey Sports Hall of Fame is a place for everyone to learn about the history of sports in Surrey, as well as celebrate the achievements of the legends who helped it become what it is today.
“Sport has always been a unifying force in Surrey, and these inductees reflect the very best of what it means to contribute, compete, and lead in our city,” Mayor Brenda Locke said. “Surrey’s sporting story has been built over many years, and it continues to be shaped by people like this.”
The Hall of Fame currently has a temporary exhibition set up at the Museum of Surrey; there, you can learn all about Surrey’s first associations and teams, as well as leagues. Its permanent home will eventually be located in City Centre Arena, where you’ll always be able to discover the legends behind Surrey’s sports scene.
