2007 Honourees Celebrated October 25th
Honouree Margaret Maxwell Callaghan, Minister Ida Chong, Irene Schell,
Lorraine Greaves and Honouree Sandra Stevenson
Heroines can change the world, was the message at the celebration of the 2007 honorees for IN HER FOOTSTEPS….CELEBRATING BC WOMEN IN SPORT, a recognition program and exhibit celebrating BC women in sport, housed at the BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum.
From creating healthy bodies to teaching cooperation, fair play and ethics, involvement in sports and physical fitness helps girls and women in both body and spirit. The IN HER FOOTSTEPS exhibit honours those women who embody excellence in sport and fitness, whether through their own performance, or by enabling others to participate and excel. As honouree Sandra Stevenson said, “I fundamentally believe that sports can change the world.”
This year, Helen and Margaret Callaghan, Kathy Shields and Sandra Stevenson join 34 previous honourees in the permanent exhibit celebrating women who have made a difference through sports for girls and women in British Columbia, whether through their own athletic excellence or by increasing opportunities for others.

IN HER FOOTSTEPS . . . CELEBRATING BC WOMEN IN SPORT is a joint initiative of ProMOTION Plus, BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, 2010 Legacies Now and the B.C. Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health. The exhibit housed at the BC Sports Hall of Fame and Museum marks the expansion and renaming of what was initially the Leaders and Legends display, which was unveiled in October 2002 to salute 31 prominent BC women in sport as part of Women’s History Month celebrations. In 2006, Marion Lay, Ivy Granstrom and Prime Ultimate Team served as inaugural honourees in the new FOOTSTEPS gallery, with up to three new additions chosen each year via selection committee.
