"The Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame Gallery is dedicated to featuring the outstanding sports men and women who have been inducted in the Hall. Visitors can view displays of artifacts, photographs and memorobilia honouring our rich sports heritage and learn about the Hall of Fame members who have brought pride to our city through their outstanding achievements.
For the late sportscaster Ernie Calcutt the idea was the establishment of a sports shrine to commemorate the athletic achievements of a myriad of Ottawa’s sports heroes.
In October 1966, then Ottawa mayor Don Reid gave official recognition and financial support and it was determined the National Capital’s sports shrine would officially open on the upper concourse of the newly completed Civic Center on April 25 1968.
Since then, well over 200 of Ottawa’s finest athletes, builders and teams have been welcomed into the prestigious Hall of Honour. In 2005, the hall was moved to the second level concourse at Scotiabank Place where it resided for six years until it found its new home in Ottawa City Hall."
