Each year, starting in 1995, a team, athlete or a builder has been inducted in the Saint Mary's University Sport Hall of Fame. A collection of Hall of Fame programs from past induction ceremonies can be found at http://library2.smu.ca/handle/01/21907 Purpose
The purpose of the Saint Mary's University Sport Hall of Fame and Heritage Centre is to recognize those individuals who have made a significant contribution to the athletic programmes at Saint Mary's, and who, as a result of this contribution, have enhanced the image and reputation of the institution.
In celebration of the rich tradition and heritage of sport and recreation at Saint Mary's University, the Sport Hall of Fame and Heritage Centre was founded in 1995.
For close to two hundred years, students, faculty and staff have shared a sport tradition as athletes, builders and teams. The Santamarians, the Times, and the Journal record vivid and exciting chapters of this aspect of university life
