Canadian Football Hall of Fame

The Canadian Football Hall of Fame was granted to Hamilton in February 1963 after a fruitful introduction by Mayor Lloyd D. Jackson. The Parks Board made accessible a substantial, old habitation close to the stadium where the destined to be assembled football fortunes could be briefly housed. Ivan Miller, resigned sports proofreader of The Spectator, was named the principal guardian. In the wake of being open just a couple of months, amid which time football memorabilia was being gotten from everywhere throughout the nation, the land and building were sold to the Board of Education. The gathering of antiques were put away in a sheltered area as the building was torn down, and another auxiliary school assembled. Throughout the following seven years numerous new areas for the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and Museum were considered.
