Sports Wall of Fame

About The Sports Wall of Fame

The Sports Wall of Fame's objective is to honour and perpetuate the names and deeds of Athletes and Teams whose athletic abilities have brought fame to themselves and our community and of Builders whose interest in and work for sport have resulted in a climate that benefits athletes and athletics. We accept nominations in each of those three categories.

The Sponsor Award is presented to corporations and groups in recognition of their significant contribution to sports in the City of Niagara Falls, over a span of at least five years.
