The inductions will take place at the Gallagher Centre on Saturday, Sep. 24, starting at 5 pm. There will be a reception with appetizers and a no‐host bar, followed by the inductions at 6.30 pm. Tickets will go on sale in early August.

See the rich sporting history of Yorkton, SK Canada. The Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame and Museum strives to preserve our Home Town Heroes. Since 1994, we have inducted 74 athletes and builders representing 29 sports, 17 teams in six sports, and five members of the media.

The Hall of Fame organization was inactive for several years, but in 2020 elected a new board of directors which is working with many of the original founders to revive the organization, seek new and expanded facilities and create a strong online presence.
