The 13th Annual Vikes Championship Breakfast is going virtual. The event is scheduled for Thursday November 5, between 7:30 – 8:00 am (PDT). Bring your breakfast and join the Vikes for an online presentation in celebration of Vikes athletes.
This year’s keynote speaker is an alumnae of the women's basketball program, Debbie Yeboah. She is one of the many former student-athletes that were gifted the opportunity to play university sport because of the breakfast.
Local businesswoman, Sybil Verch, has set up a new award to assist women in undergraduate studies while playing for the UVic Vikes. In partnership with the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame, the Vikes will give $3,000 each year to support a woman entering an undergraduate program at UVic from a secondary school in the Greater Victoria region, and who competes for a Vikes varsity team.

Doug Jennings, President of the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame comments on the effect COVID-19 has had on events and the 2020 Induction Ceremony
We were in the middle of the planning process for the 2020 Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony and Dinner when COVID-19 put the brakes on the event. The 27th annual ceremony was due to happen in October at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa but the Provincial Health Order on mass gatherings made it impossible for us to complete planning and to be able to host it.
