Our Partners

The Ottawa Sport Hall of Fame receives support from numerous sponsors and suppliers, from the organizations who have provided goods and services for our auctions, and of course from the public.

“We’re thrilled to have such great relationships our partners, for many, many years in a lot of cases,” underlines Ottawa Sport Hall of Fame Chair Dave Best. “The Ottawa Sport Hall doesn’t have core funding or grants and our event is run by a committed group of volunteers, so all of the proceeds goes towards our event and celebrating Ottawa’s sports history.

“We wouldn’t be able to do that without our sponsors and our community’s support – we’re very grateful, especially since it’s so crucial.”

We look forward to welcoming all our guests for a memorable night as we toast our exceptional Class of 2026!
