The Greater Victoria Sports Awards banquet from 1968 to 2005 was like the Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys and Junos wrapped into one, honouring the previous year’s best on the fields, courts and rinks of play.
The Greater Victoria Sport Tourism Commission will revive the tradition at Government House on March 2 after this year’s planned relaunch was cancelled due to the pandemic.
Past winners have been a Who’s Who of Victoria sporting greats with those named male or female athletes of the year including George Pakos, Gary Gait, Eli Pasquale, Silken Laumann, Gareth Rees, Simon Whitfield, Mel Bridgman, Peter Reid, Mark Wyatt, Derek Porter, Grant Main, Dean Crawford, Jim Rutledge, Lori Bowden, Kirsten Barnes, Brenda Taylor, Pam Rai and Carol Turney-Loos.
Keith Wells, executive director of the Greater Victoria Sport Tourism Commission, is asking anyone with knowledge of the whereabouts of the old trophies to contact the new committee.
