The Order of Sport is a national level award established in 2019 by Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. It is awarded alongside induction into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, and regarded as Canada's highest sporting honour.

Overview

Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1955 as a recognition program and a historical archive of sport in Canada. The award is a symbol of the organization's purpose to build Canada through the transformative power of sport. Canada's Sports Hall of Fame created the Order of Sport award to modernize recognition and reflect the growing cultural significance of sport to Canadians; one that connects Canada's greatest sports champions to the greater good. In October 2019, Canada's Sports Hall of Fame presented the inaugural Order of Sport Award to the class of 2019; six athletes and two builders were awarded the Order of Sport.
