The Jump Canada Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Gala, presented by BMO Financial Group, will return in 2014 and is currently calling for nominations. The Eighth Annual Gala will be held as part of a black-tie gala on Sunday, November 9, 2014, in Toronto, ON.
Current categories recognized by the Jump Canada Hall of Fame include Builder – Individual; Builder – Organization; Pony; Hunter; Jumper; Rider; Sponsor; Media; Official; Trainer/Coach; and Team/Event. The nomination criteria for potential Hall of Fame candidates are available on the Jump Canada Hall of Fame website by going to www.equinecanada.ca/halloffame/index.php and clicking on ‘Nominations.’
“The nomination process gives our membership an opportunity to share their stories about those who have made our sport special, and to put forward suggestions for future inductees,” said Mark Samuel, Chair of the Jump Canada Hall of Fame.
Submissions for consideration for the 2014 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony are due to the Nomination Committee by June 20, 2014. The committee will then deliberate and will announce the 2014 Inductees from among all Nominations received to date. Nominations not approved for induction in 2014 will be retained and considered in future years.
Profiles of previous inductees, as well as photo galleries of past years, can be found here.
