Story

Each year, during the football season, an “Induction Weekend” is held in one of the eight CFL cities. Ceremonies include a Celebrity Golf Tournament, unveiling of the busts, special presentations to the inductees of Hall of Fame jackets, rings and plaques. The inductees are formally accepted into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame at a Gala dinner and are recognized during the “Hall of Fame Game”.

A special section of exhibitry within the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and Museum is dedicated to the Hall of Famers. The Zone of Champions display includes the busts and brief biography of each honoured member as well as a computer interactive kiosk with photos and video highlights. To date, 264 Hall of Famers are included in the Zone of Champions.

Promoting all levels of Canadian football, the other exhibits at the Hall of Fame and Museum illustrate the rich history of the game at all levels. The Heritage Zone takes you on a tour through four historical sections which profile the history of Canadian Football. Some exhibit sections include: 1909 Grey Cup footage & artifacts and 1944 Tea Bowl footage. An increasing number of off-site exhibits are coordinated annually to promote the Hall of Fame cross Canada.
