*the final selection for January 1, 2013
*Recently steps have been taken to begin the process of forming
a "Canadian Amateur Boxing History and Wall of Fame".
In-order, to make this a possibility and a success some
important steps are needed.
Provincial Committees:
To ensure this becomes an all-inclusive project, it is
important to have regional or provincial groups to
focus on their individual history and potential
nominees that could be recommended to a
National Committee that should be comprised of
at least one member of each regional or provincial committee.
Provincial Amateur Boxing Halls of Fame:
*British Columbia started the process in 2010 and has
nominated many and selected a number of individuals
that should be candidates for the National Wall of Fame.
*Ontario began in 2012, and has a list of 18 that have been
picked in the first year, and a list of at least 36 nominees
for 2013. It is likely, but not limited to, the 18 inductees
and the other nominees where the logical choices would
be selected for the National Wall of Fame.
*There are committees for some of the other regions
including Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and
the Maritimes consisting of the combined group
of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
The Nest Step:
*Over the months of October to December 2012, attempts
will be made to build-up volunteers for the various support
groups, and the National support group before an official
"CANADIAN AMATEUR BOXING WALL OF FAME" is
established.
THE TARGET DATE FOR THE FIRST SELECTION
*The logical target date would be 2013 So,
the process of selecting
nominees by each regional committee, and then
having the National committee review all of the names
submitted. From the list of names the national group
will then select a number to be determined for induction.
CANADIAN BOXING REGION BY REGION;
*As part of the process, the country has been segregated
into four regions: The Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario and
Western Canada (BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba)
