A new crop of influential Edmontonians will join more than 400 other inductees in the Edmonton Hall of Fame
The city released the names of 11 recipients to the 2018 Edmonton Hall of Fame, which includes Postmedia sports columnist Terry Jones, captain of Canada’s Women’s Rugby Sevens team Jennifer Kish, and ATB Financial CEO Dave Mowat, to name a few.
“These individuals have provided a lifetime of exemplary service and personal effort to strengthen our communities and the reputation of the city,” Mayor Don Iveson said in a Tuesday news release. “It’s my great honour to help recognize their accomplishments and be part of their induction to the Edmonton Hall of Fame.”
Inductees will be honoured at the Salute to Excellence Hall of Fame induction ceremony on June 11, 7:30 p.m. at the Francis Winspear Centre for Music. The event is free and open to the public.
