The 2024 Petawawa Sports and Entertainment Hall of Fame inductees have been announced. To help kick off Cabin Fever’s Trivia Night on Friday, Mayor Gary Serviss was on hand to introduce this years class. Lloyd Mohns joins the sports class after spending time with the Lumber Kings and eventually making it to the NHL. Ben Rutz joins the entertainment section, the Petawawa Indians Baseball Club joins the Builder category and Mike Trauner in sports for his success in ParaCanoe racing. Trauner, a retired member of 3 RCR tells myFM news that he never expected such recognition.
He spent 19 years with 3 RCR and became severely injured by an IED while on tour in Afghanistan. Following that is when he found his passion for rowing. He tells myFM news what life has been like since.
He goes on to say that the community has been super supportive.
The official induction ceremony is coming up on June 13th during Petawawa Civic Centre Days.
