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 community.

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 at 8220 Fifth Line North in Halton Hills, Ontario, and an archives at 703 Petrolia Road in Toronto.

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