This Request for Proposals (the "RFP") is an invitation by the Corporation of the Town of Parry Sound (the "Town") to prospective proponents to submit proposals for the Exhibition Design, Fabrication and Installation of a permanent exhibition at the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame, as further described in Section A of the RFP Particulars (Appendix A) (the "Deliverables"). The Bobby Orr Hall of Fame opened its doors in 2003 inside the Charles W. Stockey Centre in Parry Sound and occupies approximately 1000 square feet of permanent exhibition space over two levels. Since 2008 the facility has been owned and operated by the Town of Parry Sound. The Hall of Fame is home to Bobby Orr's own collection of memorabilia from his career. The current exhibition tells his story from playing junior hockey in Parry Sound, through his time with the Oshawa Generals, in the NHL and beyond. The Hall of Fame also recognizes other local athletes, builders and honourary members with sporting connections to Parry Sound by inducting them into the Hall. The new Bobby Orr Hall of Fame exhibition will interpret the stories of our inductees including Bobby Orr in an engaging and interactive way. It will provide the context necessary for younger generations to understand and appreciate Bobby Orr's career and influence on the game of hockey and beyond. Additionally, visitors will learn of the many other phenomenal athletes, dedicated coaches, and supporters from the Parry Sound region. Visitors will leave with an understanding and appreciation of the history of Indigenous athletes and their contributions to sport history in the Parry Sound area. Two smaller galleries will offer an examination of the science and technology of sports and information about Georgian Bay and its status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, respectively. *Consultant secured. Coverage has been discontinued.
