Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame


The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame was founded in 1993 by Lee Abrahamson and Gary Magwood assisted by Len Coates to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of the Canadian motorsport communities.

The inaugural induction ceremony was held at the Four Seasons Hotel, Toronto, Ontario, August 19, 1993, and has been held annually since.

Since the founding, the organization has grown, developed and matured into a national charitable institution, the Canadian Automotive Collection, operated by a volunteer Board of Directors in trust for all Canadian motorsport fans.

In addition to the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame and the annual Induction Gala, the Canadian Automotive Collection operates a museum and an archives at 40 Carl Hall Road at Parc Downsview Park in Toronto, as well as the website, Canadian Automotive Collection. A new museum at 39 Carl Hall Road is under construction, and will be called the Canadian Motorsport Heritage Museum.

In 2010 the name will officially change to The Canadian Motorsport Heritage Foundation to better describe the mandate of the organization.

Its mission statement is to be "Canada's leading collection of racing vehicles and primary source of historical motorsport information".
