"Inductees to the Hall of Fame are the personal hero's of Canadians, it is why their names were put forth for induction." Said Paul Therien, Chairman of the Hall of Fame.

"This is not about being famous, this is about people who have touched the lives of people and inspired them or secured a sense of equality, this is about community"

In 2009 the Q Hall of Fame received international press attention and the induction event, Q Ball, was soon recognized as Canada's National Pride Event. The only event in the world that travels across country to make it more accessible.

The Q Hall of Fame stands for much more than an event held every two years. It supports community groups across Canada and existing inductees play a crucial role in the fight to combat bullying and discrimination.

Jeremy Dias, founder of Jer's Vision and the International Day of Pink was inducted in 2011. His work has been credited with saving the lives of youth across Canada through education and support.

This years inductees are currently being notified and so their identities cannot yet be released. When asked for a hint, Therien stated simply "They represent Canadians on a local, national and international level. I can tell you is that we believe Q Ball will sell out this year when people discover they have a chance to honour these hero's."

Previous inductees include former Prime Minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau; k.d. lang, and Olympian Mark Tewksbury. All inductees are nominated by people from across Canada.

If previous events are any indication, Q Ball 2013 promises to be a star studded event and a unique opportunity to rub shoulders with some of Canada's greatest citizens, many of them unsung hero's.
