The City of Surrey is proud to announce the members of the advisory board for the inaugural Surrey Sports Hall of Fame.

“The Surrey Sports Hall of Fame is a powerful way to honour the stories and triumphs of those who have made a lasting impact through sport in our city,” Mayor Brenda Locke said. “It embodies the spirit of Surrey – diverse, resilient and deeply rooted in community pride. I am excited to see this legacy take shape through the board’s leadership.” 
 
Coun. Gordon Hepner will serve as Council’s representative on the committee that will review nominations and select inductees. 
 
“I’m proud to be part of a project that honours Surrey’s athletes, coaches and community leaders,” Coun. Hepner said. “The Hall of Fame will celebrate their achievements and inspire the next generation to get involved in sport and give back to the community.”
