Home of Champions Monument

The Home of Champions Monument is located in the 900 block of Farwell Street adjacent the Kootenay Savings Credit Union. The monument recognizes those who have made a significant contribution to the communities of Greater Trail in the categories of Sports, Industry and Lifestyle, or reached a significant level of achievement in a chosen field of endeavour.

The Monument was sponsored by Kootenay Savings Credit Union and was constructed in 1996. A Society has been established to select those to be honoured as a "Champion" and to organize induction ceremonies as required. The City of Trail maintains the Monument.

The Inductees
