The Richmond Hill Sports Hall of Fame is proud to partner with the Richmond Hill Public Library to bring a display of memorabilia from the Sports Hall of Fame out into the community. Be sure to check it out this December. You’ll find the display on the main floor of the RHPL Central Branch, adjacent to the main entrance.
The Richmond Hill Sports Hall of Fame would like thank all who entered the Moments in Sport contest. We received many fabulous entries, which made it quite challenging for the judging committee.

Jacqueline’s Moment in Sport: My moment in sport represents both the struggle and reward of competing in badminton as a Canadian athlete. Ten years ago, I picked up a racquet for the first time at the Rouge Woods Community Centre in Richmond Hill. In 2016, I was granted the opportunity to compete in my first ever Pan American Junior Championships in Lima, Peru. I was excited to be representing Canada at the international level. Unfortunately, I lost in the first round and thought I wasn’t cut out for the sport. But instead of quitting, I continued to train harder than ever before. |

Poem written by Ezekiel: Special Olympics athlete Ezekiel Liu loves speed skating, swimming and athletics. During the pandemic when sports programs were closed, he continued training at home and in the neighbourhood. |
