What to Expect

At the BC Sports Hall of Fame expect to see lots of team jerseys and helmets, other sports equipment and autographed memorabilia in glass displays.

Sports memorabilia from major Vancouver and other BC teams are most prominent, obviously, but there are also artifacts from Indigenous sports and the British Commonwealth Games.

Exhibits at the attraction include the Vancouver 2010 Gallery, which features items from the 2010 Olympic Games, and the In Her Footsteps Gallery, which highlights the achievements of women in sport. There is also the Hall of Champions Gallery, which showcases specific famous athletes, and the Aboriginal Sport Gallery, Terry Fox Gallery and Rick Hansen Gallery.

Terry Fox was a young one-legged Vancouver-raised athlete who attempted to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. Rick Hansen is another world-famous Vancouverite who raised millions for spinal cord research while wheel-chairing around the globe.

Other exhibits at the BC Sports Hall of Fame include some hands-on activities and a model of BC Place Stadium. It’s not a huge facility, but it’s surprising how much is packed in!
