The hall of fame exposes portraits of its inductees in a gallery. The gallery used to be located at the ExpoCité complex in Quebec City but was moved to the La Coop building in Saint-Hyacinthe in 2014.[2] Candidates for induction are submitted by member of the association who then form a selection committee. The year's inductees are honored during a banquet after the general assembly where their portraits are unveiled and permanently hung in the gallery.[1]
