The Nova Scotia Sport Halifax.
Early history
After receiving a government grant to establish the Sport Hall of Fame, John E. Ahern formed a Board of Directors to choose the inaugural honorees. Nova Scotia sports stars Aileen Meagher, Johnny Miles, Sam Langford, and George Dixon were among the first class of honorees. The former Mayor of Halifax had a passion for sports that inspired him to amass an extensive collection of local sports memorabilia and images, which he donated to the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame. Ahern's collection remains the most generous single donation to the Hall of Fame.[2]
