Today, May 26, 2009, Bruce Beaton was announced as one of eight inductees into the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame. Bruce was nominated by the Chestico Museum & Historical Society.
Bruce played professional football for twelve years. He was a three time CFL All Star, a seven time division All Star and he won two Grey Cups with the Edmonton Eskimos. His accomplishments are made all the more remarkable by the fact that he never played a game of football until he went to Acadia University!
Bruce is a role model to many, not the least of whom are the people of Port Hood. He is a prime example of what you can accomplish through hard work and belief in yourself.
Congratulations Bruce on your induction. You make an excellent additional to the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame!
The formal induction ceremony will be held in Halifax on November 7, 2009. Further information will be posted on this website as it becomes available.
