Forms are available by emailing Dave Mills @ d_mills@bell.net.

Dave Mills, President of the Hall of Fame, stated that “we appreciate the support of the public and local sports organizations in continuing to identify individuals – athletes and builders – and teams that are worthy of consideration for membership in the Hall of Fame. We also encourage nominators to provide as much detail as possible regarding the individual or team they are nominating, as the Selection Committee does not do additional research beyond the information that is submitted. We are receiving a considerable number of nominations, and those that include detailed history, media articles, career statistics etc, are the ones that really stand out.”

To be eligible for consideration athletes must be either 5 years removed from competing or have reached the age of 40. There is no age requirement for Builders. In addition, nominees must have lived in Belleville or the surrounding area for a minimum of 5 years. Visit BellevilleSportsHallOfFame.com

I’m so proud of our region

The past year has created a great void within our region with the absence of sports. We want to thank everyone for carefully working their way through this time and because of everyone’s hard work and efforts, we are slowly starting to enjoy this part of our lives once again.

We understand that athletes have been impacted and that you have found creative ways to continue to train and prepare for the reopening. We admire your dedication and empathise with your struggles. Our community is eager for sports to resume - both professional and recreational. The inability to gather with friends to attend games, watch them on the big screen or socialize with other families at tournaments has been greatly missed. We’re all tired but what we’re doing is working. We’ve been challenged in ways we never dreamt possible – and the low case numbers in our region reflect that what we are doing is working!

Vaccines are now being administered locally to our most vulnerable and then, over the

Mayor Mitch Panciuk City of Belleville next few months, they will be available for the rest of us.

As soon as this is behind us we will fill those arenas, pack those gyms and line those soccer fields. Although you can’t see us, please know we’re cheering you on!

BELLEVILLE.CA

thank you for all you have done If it doesn’t challenge you -it doesn’t change you.

The commitment and teamwork skills learned today make us a better community tomorrow!
