On December 11, 2020 we
unveiled the new Wall of Fame kiosk at the Nepean
Sportsplex. We were lucky enough to have the Hon. Lisa
MacLeod, Minister of Heritage, Sports, Tourism and
Culture on hand to try out the new touch screen. Erika
Seltenreich-Hodgson, inductee at our last ceremony, just
happened to be in town too!
The kiosk would allow for members of the public to
interact with the Wall of Fame information, all at the
touch of the screen. Information about each inductee has
been populated in this state of the art touch screen
kiosk that will be located in the lobby of the Nepean
Sportsplex, home of the Nepean Sports Wall of Fame. |
Welcome to the
Nepean Sports Wall of Fame
In 1985 the Nepean Chamber
of Commerce established the Nepean Sports Wall of Fame.
Our goal was then and remains now ...
-
To
recognize attained excellence and athletic
achievement by Nepean athletes and athletic teams at
the national and international level of competition.
-
To
stimulate awareness and pride of the role the City
of Nepean's facilities and athletes have had on the
national and international sporting scene.
-
To
create a tangible and permanent historic collage of
significant sporting accomplishments for mass
viewing.
-
To
induce and encourage the youth of Nepean to pursue
athletic excellence through recognition of these
athletic achievers.
In 2018 our organization's
goal was modified to expand our recognition beyond
Nepean Athletes and Athletic Teams to include two new
categories, Builders and Media, to recognize their
valuable roles in sports development and promotion.
As of today, the Sports
Wall of Fame consists of 74 athletes, including certain
members of team sports, (22 female and 52
male), representing 27 different sporting activities.
Collectively, Sports Wall of Fame members now lay claim
to 31 National records; won 185 national titles and an
impressive 230 medals in international competition.
