Miramichi Sports Wall of Fame
The City of Miramichi Sports Wall of Fame began as the Chatham Sports Wall of Fame in 1988. Inductions to the Chatham Wall of Fame were held annually until 1994, when Chatham became part of the City of Miramichi.
The Chatham Wall of Fame was revived in 2005 due to the initiative of Peter Nevin. This was to coincide with the 50th Anniversary observances for the Lord Beaverbrook Arena. Inductions to the Chatham Wall of Fame were made in 2005 and 2006 while discussions leading to the establishment of the City of Miramichi Wall of Fame were ongoing.
About Us
The current Board of Directors of the City of Miramichi Wall of Fame (names are listed on a separate page) was formed through a merger of the Chatham Sports Wall of Fame Committee and an exploratory committee, chaired by Bev Bawn. The City of Miramichi Sports Wall of Fame held it’s first induction ceremony in 2007.
