Everyone has a particular moment in sport, whether it is the first time you made successful contact between bat and ball, or foot and soccer ball \u2013 but sometimes these moments lead to great things that have gone unnoticed, and the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame wants these stories.
\nIn honour of Canada\u2019s 150th Celebration, the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame (ASHoF) is launching a \u201cMoments in Sport\u201d public outreach campaign to uncover sporting moments that have occurred in Aurora or by residents of Aurora in order to showcase Aurora\u2019s extensive sport heritage and to identify when, how and why sport came to Canada and Aurora.
\nLaunched at Town Park on Friday as part of the 150th Anniversary party to mark the milestone of the popular greenspace, the ASHoF is hoping to create a database of Aurora\u2019s Moments in Sports to capture as much of our vibrant sports history as possible.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to imagine what the final product could possibly look like; a searchable database, a timeline of sports highlights from Aurora\u2019s history displayed on a wall and\/or website, or an interactive board at the Hall of Fame,\u201d says Bob McRoberts, ASHoF Collection & Exhibition Chair. \u201cFor now, we are hoping for an abundance of sport highlights to
\nbe submitted before the deadline.\u201d
\nAdds ASHoF Executive Director Nancy Black: \u201cI can\u2019t wait until we start getting stories from the public. \u201cOver the last couple of years during our Induction Dinner, I\u2019ve had so many people tell me great sport stories, but now we are actually going to gather them and share them. It will be amazing and interesting to have these stories come to life.\u201d
\nStories may be submitted by September 30 to the ASHoF online or by email to ashofhistory@gmail.com. The Top 20 Moments in Sport will be revealed at the 2017 Aurora Sports Hall of Fame Induction Dinner on November 8 at St. Andrew\u2019s College.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
