Due to Covid restrictions, seating is limited to 60 people. Due to a generous donation, there will be no charge for any of the 60 attendees, but preference will be given to family and guests of the inductees. In the worst-case scenario, if the fourth wave of Covid forces a cancellation of the event, the Induction ceremony would be reduced and would take place online.

The inductions will be available for viewing via the Marine Museum's YouTube live-stream. To receive the link to the live-stream, register online at www.marmuseum.ca/cshof. There will be a $5 subscription fee to view the inductions on line, with all monies going in support of the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame.
