Saugeen Shores Hall of Fame Committee

Our Committee

Following the 2008 celebration, for various reasons the Royal club disbanded and hence the Saugeen Shores Hall of Fame became dormant. Not wanting the Hall of Fame to become permanently shuttered, various community organizations were approached for support in reviving the Hall. In early January 2013 the board of directors of the Rotary Club of Port Elgin accepted a request to revive and resurrect the Saugeen Shores Hall of Fame. On January 9, 2013 the initial meeting of the new Saugeen Shores Hall of Fame Selection Committee was held with 4 Port Elgin Rotarians and 5 'community' members in attendance. The 2013 Saugeen Shores Hall of Fame induction evening was held on Thursday May 30 with 3 new inductees.

It has since been decided by the Selection Committee that the nomination, selection process and induction ceremony should continue as a bi-annual event. It was also decided the original nomination, eligibility and selection criteria and process as written by the Royal Club be accepted by the Committee. The Committee also agreed there should be a set of by­laws in place to determine the composition of the Saugeen Shores Hall of Fame Selection Committee and its executive, directors and duties. The by-laws should also act as guidelines for the Selection Committee.
