The BC Sports Hall of Fame is a museum located in the BC Place stadium, at Gate A, the main entrance to the stadium, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It collects, preserves, studies and interprets materials that relate to British Columbia's sport history,[1][2] and allows researchers, writers, media members and sport historians to gain access to and appreciate BC's sporting heritage.
The organization has amassed an extensive artifact and archival collection of artifacts and archival documents related to sports.[3] The museum features galleries on BC sportspeople Terry Fox, Rick Hansen and Greg Moore.[4] It also has several multi-sport galleries including a gallery on Aboriginal sport, the BC professional sports teams, the 1954 British Empire and Commonwealth Games, and "In Her Footsteps", a gallery focused on women in sport.
