Well known as the Home of Champions, the Greater Trail Area honours past and present residents that have excelled in business and sports or greatly contributed to the cultural landscape of our region.
Sponsored by Kootenay Savings Credit Union, the Home of Champions Monument is located at the corner of Cedar Avenue and Farwell Street in downtown Trail and lists the names of those individuals and groups recognized as hometown "champions."
