The Bow Valley Sports Hall of Fame was established in 2017 to honour outstanding Bow Valley athletes, championship teams and sport builders as well as preserving the history of Bow Valley sport. The Bow Valley Sports Hall of Fame builds on the good work of the Banff Sports Hall of Fame, which was established in 2005, but has been inactive since 2008.

The mission of the Bow Valley Sports Hall of Fame is threefold:

• To honour individuals and teams from the Bow Valley who have distinguished themselves in sport, recreation or mountain pursuits
• To assist in the development of future contributions to athletic pursuits
• To promote our inductees to both residents and visitors to the Bow Valley

There are three categories within the Hall that recognize the athletic achievements of residents from the Bow Valley:

• Athlete: direct participant in sport, recreation or mountain pursuits
• Builder: conducting athletes in a leadership capacity… coach, trainer, manager, official, administrator, etc.
• Pioneer: athletes or builders that made a significant impact on the development of sport within the Bow Valley for more than 50 years before the current date
