Nomination process and timelines
Please see our candidate criteria and nomination process to see if your nominee qualifies for consideration.
Ensure your nominee meets the criteria

We offer two categories of nominees: Athletes and Supporters. Learn about the key differences between these two groups and the criteria used for each.

Criteria for an athlete nomination
An Athlete shall be defined as someone who has demonstrated character, sportsmanship, and integrity, as well as outstanding ability in their athletic event, and has brought honour to Port Hope. Candidates for Athlete Nominations must:
  • have been born in Port Hope, or lived in Port Hope for a minimum of two (2) years OR participated in sport in Port Hope for two (2) consecutive seasons;
  • participated in or recognized for Provincial, National, or International achievements;
  • have been retired from active participation in sport for a minimum of two (2) years, dating from the last season of participation in sport. In considering nominations for deceased candidates, those responsible have the option of waiving the two-year waiting period.
Criteria for a supporter nomination

Supporters shall be defined as officials, administrators, sports medicine personnel, media personnel, coaches, and others who work for sport. Candidates for Supporter Nominations must:

  • have been born in Port Hope, or lived in Port Hope for a minimum of two (2) years OR participated in sport in Port Hope for two (2) consecutive seasons;
  • recognized for National or International achievements;
  • have been retired from active participation in sport for a minimum of two (2) years, dating from their last participation in their area of expertise. In considering nominations for deceased candidates, those responsible have the option of waiving the two-year waiting period.

If the nominee does not meet all the criteria above, they may still be considered for inclusion only on the sports kiosk. 

Submit a nomination

The nomination period is open each year from January through to the end of June. Nominations can be submitted through our online form. We offer two application forms:

  • Wall of Honour application form
  • Wall of Honour: Sports kiosk only application form

Currently, the nomination period is closed and will re-open in January.

Nominations selection process

All nominations will be reviewed by staff and the Parks, Recreation and Culture Advisory Committee, who have set the criterion of the program. Nominations that do not meet the criteria may be eligible for recognition in the Sports Kiosk. Incomplete nominations will be returned to the nominator.

Nominations will be selected each year in October.
