President’s messageOn behalf of the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame, I sincerely congratulate and welcome
the slate of selected inductees for induction into the Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame, Nov., 1, 2008 at TCU Place.
The time and effort, as well as their accomplishments that these individuals contributed to the Saskatoon sporting community, make them most deserving of this recognition.
I encourage and ask all past inductees to make the effort to honour the inductees of 2008 by attending the dinner and induction ceremony as they are about to become part of the same, special, sporting fraternity.
Good living through sports.
