lshof reschedules 2020 induction banquet

Public Information & Events

In a year unlike any other, the Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame has taken steps to ensure its latest class of inductees will still be properly honoured, while ensuring everyone’s safety during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Hall will aim to formally induct its previously announced class of 2020 at a banquet tentatively scheduled for fall 2021.

In addition to rescheduling the 2020 induction banquet, the LSHOF has also decided it will not name a new class of inductees in 2021. This decision gives time for the class of 2020 to be properly recognized before a new class is named. The LSHOF will return to its traditional schedule with a new induction class and banquet in spring 2022.
