About THE CBHFM
The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum (CBHFM), located in St. Marys, Ontario, commemorates great Canadian baseball players, teams, moments and accomplishments from throughout the history of the sport.
CBHFM was founded in November, 1982 in Toronto at Exhibition Place and later moved to Ontario Place. In August, 1994, St. Marys, Ontario was named the new home of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, with the doors officially opening in June, 1998. CBHFM is dedicated to preserving Canada’s baseball heritage which has been traced as far back as the late 1700s when baseball was mentioned in a New Brunswick newspaper.
CBHFM annually hosts 700+ kids’ events on site and has developed to include baseball fields, museum space and trails. The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum hosts an annual Induction Ceremony to recognize those who have contributed to the development of Canadian baseball. Since 1983, over 160 individuals have been inducted.
