NWT Sport Hall of Fame

How it Started

The NWT Sport Hall of Fame was created to celebrate NWT athletes and sport builders who attained a high level of excellence and brought recognition and honour to the Northwest Territories.

Through the NWT Sport Hall of Fame, Sport North recognizes and shares the sport stories of the territories’ great athletes, builders and teams. Their stories will be celebrated and showcased to continue to inspire NWT youth to live healthy active lives and set their goals high.

It is through the recognition and promotion of sport that we can demonstrate the great achievements of our outstanding sport contributors of the Northwest Territories and will be able to communicate these great stories for years to come. If you know an individual or a team that fits into these categories, and deserves to be honored and recognized for their achievements in sport, nominate them today!

Nominations are due September 15th each year!
