Alberta Champions Society in Recognition of Community Enrichment was created in 2003 by Gordon Hoffman. He felt that Alberta had been served by so many outstanding individuals throughout the years that it was important to create a form of recognition for their efforts. This recognition serves two purposes:
A brief introduction explaining how this individual made a lasting impact on Alberta and why they are featured in our Fields of Fame.
These stories help young people understand leadership, character, and the importance of serving their communities.
Established by Gordon Hoffman to recognize the outstanding individuals who helped shape Calgary and surrounding communities.
The Society envisions up to ten Fields of Fame across Calgary and Alberta, acting as place markers that preserve local history and civic pride.
Public monuments created to honour Albertans whose leadership, service, and generosity helped shape Calgary and Alberta.
Field of Fame openings are coordinated with student contests that encourage young Albertans to explore provincial history through written and multimedia projects.
Alberta Champions Society collaborates with communities across southern Alberta to expand the Fields of Fame and hosts an annual Alberta-wide multimedia student contest to inspire leadership through education.
Every donation helps create new Fields of Fame monuments, run our annual student contests, and develop more classroom tools for teachers. Your support helps pass Alberta’s stories forward.
