The Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame Annual Induction Dinner is on Saturday, October 27 at the Westin Bear Mountain. We have an exciting line up of inductees. Dave Calder (Rowing), Rich Harden (Baseball), Alison Murdoch (Golf) and Deb Whitten (Field Hockey) will be inducted in the athletes’ category. In addition, three-time Olympic swimmer Ron Jacks will be honoured in the coaching category for services to swimming, and Ian Lamplugh in the official’s category for baseball. The two builder inductees will be Hugh MacDonald (Multi-sports) and Yeiji Inouye (Judo) who will be honoured posthumously. The evening will sell out so it is advisable to  purchase tickets asap.
