On January 19th, 2012,  members of the press, public and past Inductees joined the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame in welcoming our newest Induction members.  After weeks of keeping it a secret, Dave Garagan, chair of the 2012 selection committee revealed the 1961/62 Bantam All Stars, Ronald D. Harris, Sandra Hunt and William (Bill) Peachey as our 2012 Inductees!  We look forward to celebrating the lives and achievements of these remarkable people in the months to come.  We would like to thank everyone who attended this event and hope that you will all be able to join us as we welcome the 2012 Bobby Orr Hall of Fame Inductees into our Hall.

See you May 26, 2012.

On Saturday May 1st, 2010 over 300 friends and family celebrated the achievements of Bob Beaumont, Pete Conacher, Roger Galipeau (posthumously), and Rick Thomas as they were inducted into the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame. Each Inductee was profiled in a DVD tribute and was   presented with a personalized Bobby Orr Hall of Fame Jersey and an engraved piece of Georgian Bay stone. Jackson Kuhn was presented the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame Top Defenseman Award for the second time. Following the Inductee presentations, Canadian Astronaut Dr. Robert Thirsk gave a short presentation on his personal accomplishments through the Canadian Space Agency.
The evening was capped off with a few words from Bobby Orr congratulating all of the Inductees and an autograph session with the    Inductees, Bobby Orr, and Dr. Thirsk. Thank you to all who came to support our Inductees and the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame.

A special thanks to Dr. Thirsk who returned on Wednesday May 5th, 2010 to give 2 presentations to local area school children. We are very thankful for Dr. Thirsk’s involvement in the Parry Sound & area Community!
