2008-12-19 Feb 2009 Induction Gala Postponed
In light of the recent economic downturn, and after careful and great consideration, the Board of Directors of the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame has decided to postpone the February 2009 Inductee Gala to 2010. North American financial and economic factors that are occurring at this time lead the Board to feel that it is unreasonable to ask Inductees and patrons to spend their money on the extravagance of a such a gala. Postponing the Gala to 2010 will allow us to ensure a meaningful and memorable experience for all inductees and other attendees.
