  • City names advisory board for inaugural Surrey Sports Hall of Fame
The City of Surrey is proud to announce the members of the advisory board for the inaugural Surrey Sports Hall of Fame.  
 
The board is tasked with guiding the Hall’s development and vision, including shaping its policies, exhibit themes, and community engagement. The members are Faythe Lou, Gurpreet Rai, Jon Mara, Kuldip Singh Sidhu, Mike McKay, Rajgurav Shergill, Scott Ackles, Stewart Masi and Thomas Hastie.
 
“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.” 
 
The City is accepting nominations for the inaugural class of inductees until Dec. 31. Categories include athlete, high performance athlete, team, builder, coach, game changer and community hero.  
 
Temporary exhibitions will debut at the Museum of Surrey in spring 2026, with digital kiosks to follow in select civic facilities. The inaugural induction ceremony is set to take place at City Hall in June 2026.
