Alberta Sports Hall of Fame receives Alberta Heritage Award for Outstanding Achievement
From the Province of Alberta and the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame
Celebrating Albertans who protect our history
Sixteen Albertans and organizations are being recognized for helping preserve and celebrate Alberta’s history at the 2024 Heritage Awards.
The Heritage Awards, which are presented every two years, recognize the people, organizations and communities that are actively engaged in heritage promotion, protection and preservation. Awards are bestowed in three categories: Heritage Awareness, Heritage Conservation and Outstanding Achievement. This year’s awards presentation was held on Sept. 26 in Edmonton at the Queen Elizabeth II Building.
From Tracey Kinsella, Executive Director of the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame
We are excited to announce that we were honoured with the prestigious Outstanding Achievement Heritage Award last night, presented by the Government of Alberta. It was a truly memorable evening filled with celebration, and we are both humbled and proud to be recognized for our contributions.
This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and we are grateful to be acknowledged among such incredible individuals and organizations.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey—we look forward to sharing this achievement with our community.
