Welcome letter from Michael Bartlett:

Canada is a basketball nation. And MORE basketball is good for Canada. As part of Canada Basketball’s commitment to deliver more basketball, coast-to-coast-to-coast, we continue to take steps to appropriately celebrate the legends who have helped unify the nation, through basketball.
While many talk about NOW being the golden era of basketball in our country, we know that any future success is built on the solid foundation that past athletes, coaches, officials and builders have established for Canada Basketball. Today we will honour seven valued contributors to the game and each of them have paved the way for the current generation as we work to achieve our ambition of being a unified basketball nation.

On behalf of Canada Basketball, and the millions of passionate basketball fans in Canada, I wish to express our appreciation to Greg, Tammy, Rowan, Liz, Joey, Alison & Don for all they have contributed to basketball in Canada - and around the world. You all have many accomplishments to be proud of and can now add Canadian Basketball Hall of Famers to this list. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do, as ambassadors of basketball in Canada.
We all have a role to play, in continuing to shape the future of our thriving basketball nation. With your help, Canada Basketball will continue to work hard to support our system - from the grass roots to our most elite teams - and we invite you to be part of our winning journey as we work to make MORE basketball history, for Canada.
Sincerely,
Michael
MICHAEL BARTLETT PRESIDENT & CEO, CANADA BASKETBALL
