The Sarnia-Lambton Sports Hall of Fame's annual induction dinner is returning this fall after a two-year absence.
It was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 by the COVID-19 pandemic after 37 consecutive years.
The banquet will be held Oct. 15 at the Sarnia Golf and Curling Club, said Hall of Fame president Pete Coenjarts.
Anyone wishing to nominate someone for induction can call Coenjarts at 519-542-4095.
