Our appreciation and gratitude goes out to all our inductees, nominees and scholarship candidates. The Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame is excited about the City of Burnaby providing a prominent place to inform Burnaby residents and visitors about the proud history and future of the city’s thriving sports community in its new Burnaby Lake Aquatics and Arena project.
Ann Willcocks started up netball in B.C. right here in Burnaby. The Burnaby North High School principal has coached the provincial team from 1983 to the present and has taken Canada to international tournaments on eight separate occasions, including the 1998 Commonwealth Games and the ’93 World Games, where they finished a best-ever fifth.
Willcocks has also spearheaded a grassroots program, mentoring her players to introduce netball at both the elementary and secondary school levels.
Recognizing and celebrating those who have brought honour to Burnaby through their incredible achievements in the arenas of sport.
Sports have the unique ability to cut across differences in age, gender, ethnicity, politics and wealth to unify, inspire, entertain and amaze. Our Inductees and our Scholarship winners certainly are living proof of this.
