  • Hometown Honour Has Special Meaning for Jim Elder
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sat Oct 2 8:36:49 2021 / +0000 GMT Hometown honour has special meaning for Jim Elder By Jeff Doner For decades, Aurora resident Jim Elder was an important part of Canada's national equestrian team, bringing home multiple honours and awards from various competitions from around the world. For his many accomplishments, Elder was inducted into the Aurora Sports Hall of Fame on Wednesday. ?It's great being part of the first class, but its greater having it done in your own hometown. It was my hometown for 50 years,? Elder said. ?I have to say that it is an extra special award because it is local. I did most of my competitive riding career in Aurora and hosted a lot of our functions there on our farm.? At 79, Elder has long since retired from his refrigeration business and competitive riding. However, he still rides recreationally and keeps busy with his grandchildren who all took a page out of his book by getting into competitive riding. Having been on the equestrian team for 35 years, there are a few particular moments that stand out for Elder. At the 1968 Olympics Games in Mexico City, Elder was part of a team that made history. Along with teammates Jim Day and Tom Gayford, the trio captured the gold medal in show jumping, marking the first Olympic equestrian gold medal in Canadian history. It was also the only gold medal for Canada at those games. Two years later, in 1970, the team proved that they were no fluke by winning gold at the World Championships in France and then in 1971 won another gold medal at the Pan American Games.
