Town hosting unveiling of Sports Wall of Fame

Celebrate the inaugural year of the Sports Wall of Fame on October 19 at 2:00 p.m.

On Saturday, October 19, 2024, at 2:00 p.m., the Town of St. Marys is hosting a grand unveiling celebration at the Pyramid Recreation Centre (317 James St. S). This event will highlight the newly installed Sports Wall of Fame and will include a ceremony to recognize the 2024 inductees who have achieved outstanding sports accomplishments in the community.

The Sports Wall of Fame was proposed by the Recreation and Leisure Advisory Committee in 2022 for the preservation and promotion of the importance of athletics history within the municipality. Nominations for the inaugural year were accepted this past April, and the six selected inductees were announced in May.

The 2024 inductees include Riley Hern, Mark Bell, Dale Levy, Ferris Stewart, Patrick Payton and the St. Marys Creamery Juniors (1988).

"We are excited to showcase the outstanding sports achievements in St. Marys," says Joannah Campbell, Recreation Manager for the Town of St. Marys. "The strong support and involvement from our community is why it’s important to recognize the dedicated individuals, teams and builders who play a role the success and development of sports in our town."

Everyone is welcome to attend the grand unveiling. Free refreshments will be available in the EndZone upstairs at the Pyramid Recreation Centre following the event, courtesy of the Town.

The next call for Sports Wall of Fame nominations will start in April 2025. An announcement will be made when nominations open through the local media, social media (facebook.com/pyramid.centre), and the Town’s website (www.townofstmarys.com/sportswall).
