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.
