Our website features photos, biographies and memorabilia of Canada's most outstanding, professional cowboys, cowgirls and rodeo animals. Please enjoy your stay as we honour the hardcore, respected, cowboys, cowgirls and rodeo animals of Canada!

Founded in 1979

During a gathering of the Rodeo Alumni at the Canadian Finals Rodeo in 1979 a proposal was made to organize a Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. Further meetings were held resulting in the Canadian Rodeo Historical Association being formed. It became a registered association on June 19th, 1980. In 1981 the Association was granted tax free status as a charitable organization by the Government of Canada.

Our Mission

An association founded by dedicated rodeo enthusiasts, “To honor and distinguish outstanding contestants, animals and builders in the Canadian Rodeo Arena. ”Our aim is to annually induct qualifying individuals to the Canadian Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame and display artifacts of the history of pro rodeo Canada.

Three categories are established: “Contestant, “Builder” and Animal.

To date there are 149 inductees in the Hall of Fame.
