The Alberta Sports Hall of Fame is a hall of fame and museum in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada, dedicated to the preservation and history of sports within the province. It was created in 1957 by the Alberta Amateur Athletic Union (AAAU).[1] The museum was eventually taken over by Sport Alberta in 1973 when the AAAU ceased operations.[2] It has been maintained by the Alberta Sports Hall of Fame and Museum Society since 1997.[1] The first permanent display for the Hall of Fame was established in Edmonton in 1962.[3] The museum relocated between Edmonton and Calgary on numerous occasions until settling in Red Deer in 1999.[1]
