  • For the Record
    FOR THE RECORD MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT HUGH VASSOS We are entering a new era in the life of the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame. We need to make improvements in virtually all areas of our operations while focusing on our core business…the preservation and education of this province’s rich and proud sports history. Now is the time for everyone with a vested interest in the Hall of Fame to step forward and do their part to make this a better place. Our Board of Directors and Staff are leading the way. Over the past few months we have reviewed the way we are currently operating and developed a plan for the way we need and want to work from this point forward. On April 16th we announced the first of these plans including a new visual identity that replaces a dated logo with a more dynamic image that better reflects our new attitude and sense of direction for the future. A new online presence and domain name (www.sasksportshalloffame.com) that adopts a more contemporary look and meshes with our social media applications (@SaskSportsHF and www.facebook.com/SaskSportsHF). In order to put our new Strategic Plan into motion it will take resources and that’s where you come in. We have made the decision to create our own destiny and have launched an exciting new self-help program entitled the Sports Investors Club. This program is poised to generate up to 50% of our operating revenue while allowing us to also start funding new exhibits and programs.
