    Historica Canada Education Portal Percy Williams Overview This lesson is based on viewing the Percy Williams biography from The Canadians series. It explores the athleticism of this Canadian sprinter, who won two gold medals at the 1928 Amsterdam Olympics. Despite his accomplishments, Williams's life had a tragic ending. Aims With a variety of individual and group activities, students will study Williams's accomplishments and compare them with other athletes. Students will also consider the place of athletes in society and decide whether they should be seen as role models. Background In 1928, Percy Williams was the fastest man in the world. He became a gold medallist at the Amsterdam Olympics, winning the 100 and 200 metre races. When he returned to Canada he was a hero. He had the world at his feet. He raced for a year in the United States, beating all competitors. Yet, when he was an old man, Percy Williams committed suicide. He had an unhappy life and the questions abound. He was kicked out of his golf club for stealing other members' booze. He ended up selling insurance. Yet for those brief moments in 1928 Percy Williams, the slight, dedicated runner from Vancouver knew fame and glory. Activities Time Allowance: 1 - 4 hours Procedures: Group Projects 1. Have students create a media interview (newspaper, television, or radio) with Percy Williams. Select 4 or 5 students to play the part of Percy Williams. They should meet and put together what they know about Williams in preparation for the interview. They should try to anticipate some of the questions that could be asked.

  • 1982 Commonwealth Games Hamilton Spectator Article Review
    1982 Commonwealth Games Hamilton Spectator Article Review By: Melanie Hotke, Brian Marisson and Amy Bosgraaf Prof. John Byl PED. 201 February 26, 2004 The first Commonwealth Games, then known as the British Empire Games, took place in 1930 in Hamilton, Ontario. Bobby Robinson was a big reason why the event was able to take place. Eleven countries came in with 400 athletes into Hamilton. The City of Hamilton provided $30 000 to these nations to help cover traveling costs.1 After the Games in Hamilton, they were held every four years (except during 1942-1946 due to World War II). The Games were known as the British Empire Games from 1930-1950. The name was then changed to the British Empire and Commonwealth Games until 1962. The Games were known as the British Commonwealth Games from 1966-1974. From 1978 to the present, they have been called the Commonwealth Games.2 Unlike other Games, such as the Winter Olympics and the Pan Am Games, that were founded on geographic or climatic factors the Commonwealth Games were founded on history. The Commonwealth Games were unique from other Games because all the countries that participated had a common language-all the athletes could talk to each other in English. This common language created an atmosphere that has led to the Commonwealth Games being long known as the “Friendly Games.”3 The Games were also unique in that all the countries that participated had a common history: they shared the same experiences, they had a unified language, and they had bonds that looked past cultural barriers and physical borders.4 The Commonwealth Games encouraged people to be healthy and fit and it provided an opportunity to inspire young people to excel at what they do.
