              Corporate body · 1978-

              The Northwestern Ontario (NWO) Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 1978 in Thunder Bay, Ontario. It is currently housed in the former Fort William Land Registry building, 219 May St. South, Thunder Bay.

              The former Land Registry building was constructed in 1916. It became a home for the Thunder Bay Historical Society in 1972, and was turned over to the City of Thunder Bay in 1977. In 1996, the NWO Sports Hall of Fame took ownership of the building.

              The Northwestern Ontario Sports Hall of Fame aims to preserve Northwestern Ontario’s sport heritage. NWO Sports Hall of Fame consists of a museum and archives, and commemorates over 200 athletes, teams, and supporters. Collections and archival documents have been primarily donated by the public. The Sports Hall of Fame holds the memory of various teams across Northwestern Ontario.
