THE MUSEUM

Governance 

The Halton Hills Sports Museum & Resource Centre is governed by a Board of Directors whose membership includes representation from Halton Hills Council, the Town of Halton Hills, various sporting associations and interested volunteers.  The mandate of the Board of Directors is threefold;

• To collect, restore, preserve and display historically significant artefacts and memorabilia which recognize the important social and community developmental contributions that sport has played in the Town of Halton Hills.

• To plan and present an annual Hall of Fame Awards program to recognize outstanding athletic achievement of individuals within our community  and also to recognize the very significant volunteer contribution of individual citizens to the development of sporting traditions in Halton Hills. 

•  To promote the education, teaching and research and publication of all fields of endeavour related to the sporting history of Halton Hills.

Museum Management Committee

The Museum Management Committee is composed of five volunteers whose membership includes; Bruce Andrews, Glenda Nixdorf, John Archibald, Brian Snow and Don Fendley.  They have the daunting responsibility to develop exhibits for the opening of the Museum, to create a permanent collection of artefacts and memorabilia and to develop our museum website to communicate with the general public.

Museum Development

The Halton Hills Sports Museum & Resource Centre is located on the second floor of the Gordon Alcott Arena in a multi-purpose meeting room.  We are fortunate to have permanent exhibition display cabinets which the management committee is presently planning and designing exhibits for these areas.  Our goal is to have our official museum opening sometime in late February or early March.

Creating an Archive  

A museum’s archive consists of its permanent collection which includes written material, photographs and artefacts which support the mandate of the museum.  Since our permanent collection is presently being created, we are asking for your support to help our collection grow.  We would like to receive photographs, programs, club newsletters, minutes and artefacts which document the history of an individual or sport organization in Halton Hills.  If you would like to make a contribution please call: Bruce Andrews (905-877-1162).

Museum Website

 The Halton Hills Sports Museum & Resource Centre website has been remodelled and is under the supervision of Mr. Brian Snow.  We hope that you will find this site both interesting and informative and that you will continue to visit our site as we grow and develop.
