Deadlines approaching for 2014 Sport Hall of Fame nominations




By Jeff Doner

It's a busy time for Sport Aurora.

As the group, which brings together numerous Aurora sports teams under one umbrella, looks ahead to the future, they are also quickly gearing up for the second year of the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame.

After measured growth and success following 2013, Sport Aurora held their annual general meeting last week to discuss what's ahead and assured their membership that things won't be slowing down.

The AGM also let membership know that the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame will be changing things up a little bit. This year, the selection panel will be chosen earlier and will have a slate of inductees by the end of June, as opposed to August.

Applications for those wishing to be on the selection panel must be submitted by this Friday, February 28.

“What we're looking for are members of the public who have a good knowledge of sport history in the Town and have a passion for the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame and sports in general to sit on an anonymous selection panel of five people to review all of the inductee nominations,” said Sport Aurora director Ron Weese about the panel. “Their job is to recommend inductees to the induction committee.”

If you're looking to nominate an athlete or person for induction, that deadline is now Mar. 31 at noon.

All forms and applications can be found on the Sport Aurora website: www.sportaurora.ca

Next week, The Auroran will continue its look at Sport Aurora's year ahead.
