Canadian Olympic Trivia Answers Our Canadian men and pairs have achieved the most medals over the years. The men have won 7 medals, but no gold; they include Montgomery Wilson (1932), Toller Cranston (1976), Brian Orser (1984, 1988), Elvis Stojko (1994, 1998), and Jeff Buttle (2006). In pairs, the medal winners were Suzanne Morrow and Wally Disstelmeyer (1948), Frances Dafoe and Norris Bowden (1956), Barbara Wagner and Robert Paul (1960 – gold), Debbie Wilkes and Guy Revell (1964), Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd Eisler (1992, 1994), and Jaime Sale and David Pelletier (2002 – gold). There have only been 3 ladies who medalled: Barbara Ann Scott (1948 – gold), Karen Magnussen (1972), and Elizabeth Manley (1988). Only Tracy Wilson and Robert McCall managed a medal in dance pairs in 1988. The Calgary Olympics in 1988 was definitely Canada’s best figure skating Olympics with 3 medals. And what is our total over the years: 18! Let’s hope we add a few more in Vancouver. Volunteer of the Year Volunteers are vital to our organization. Without the dedication of these people, our club would not run! So please take a moment to read about the Margaret Proctor Memorial Award, and think of someone at the club who has been a big help to you in some capacity over the past few months. Previous recipients are not eligible for the award, but there are many others who are. We really like to acknowledge our volunteers and the hard work they do, so help us out by filling in the nominating form and returning it to the music room before February 14. The Margaret Proctor Memorial Award Margaret Proctor was a dedicated volunteer for many years at the Jordan Skating Club, and was instrumental in the founding and growth of our club. Her daughter, Leslie, was a skater at our club and is now a member of our professional coaching staff. Margaret Proctor passed away in December of 1996. In tribute to Mrs. Proctor’s dedication to our club, the Board of Directors instituted an award in her honour, to be presented annually at carnival to a volunteer who has served the club in an outstanding way. Each family at our club, and each professional coach, is encouraged to submit one nomination for this award. The recipient of this award shall be any skater, or family member, or member of the professional coaching staff of the Jordan Skating Club who has shown outstanding dedication and support to the club by volunteering their time and energy to the enhancement of the club during the present skating season. The Margaret Proctor Memorial Award may only be received once; previous recipients who are therefore ineligible include Mark O’Connor, Deb Reimer, Marlene Pinder, Maureen Morrison, Deb German, Doug Pinder, Joyce Wong, Joanne Foster, Brenda Hodgins, Karen Paulenko, Elaine Piper, Jane Culp and Rachel Siemens. Please submit your nomination by February 14 (to the “raffle ticket pouch” in the Music Room). - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - We, the members of the __________________________________ family, hereby nominate _____________________________________________ (Name of Nominee) for the Margaret Proctor Memorial Award.

  • Our Alumni in the News
    REUNION EDITION NEWS FROM ICE CAPADES ALUMNI July 2016 Our Alumni in the News Figure Skating Olympic silver medalist Elizabeth Manley shares her story of depression and resilience in Stratford By Laura Cudworth, The Beacon Herald Elizabeth Manley was guest speaker at the annual general meeting of the Stratford General Hospital Foundation this week. Laura Cudworth/The Beacon Herald It was an unforgettable moment for the whole country. Elizabeth Manley skating off the ice wearing a white cowboy hat thrown from the crowd after nailing the long program at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. An effervescent blonde without an ounce of pretension, she beat out American Debi Thomas for the silver medal in figure skating and nearly knocked East German skater Katarina Witt off the top of the podium. Overall the Calgary Olympics were not the games the country had been hoping for. The games were nearing the end when Manley won the long program. She became Canada's Sweetheart in an instant. “I was an underdog. I wasn’t expected to win a medal. I feel the country was just kind of starting to fade off a little bit and I came out of nowhere and had this amazing skate. It doesn’t matter who I run into today they know exactly where they were sitting at that moment. I even had a lady in labour that held back just so she could see me skate. Some of the stories I’ve heard are just incredible.” But the road to get there was harder than anyone knew. Like all elite athletes she devoted herself to her sport but there were hurdles to overcome that made reaching the top even harder.

  • Welcome to the “Barbara Ann Scott: Come Skate with Me” Exhibit Podcast Presented by the City of Ottawa Archives
    Welcome to the “Barbara Ann Scott: Come Skate with me” exhibit podcast presented by the city of Ottawa archives. In the podcast, City Archivist Paul Henry interviews Barbara Ann Scott at her home in Florida, and Educational Programming Officer Olga Zeale interviews Paul Henry and Elizabeth Manley in Ottawa. PH: My name is Paul Henry, I am City Archivist for the City of Ottawa. OZ: Why was it important for the City of Ottawa Archives to acquire Barbara Ann Scott’s collection? PH: Uh, well the mandate of the City of Ottawa Archives is to document the corporation of the City of Ottawa as well as serve as a repository for records that would otherwise be lost to history; records that in particular tell the story of the individual contributions of notable citizens, organizations, businesses, community organizations, that have contributed to the fabric of Ottawa and which tell, essentially, the story of the gap between what the City does and what our known history of an area is. So, the private records really flush out and make interesting a story of Ottawa beyond its role as a nation‟s capital. The Barbara Ann Scott collection fulfills that in many ways. Barbara is our most decorated citizen, our most decorated Olympic athlete, and if you think back to those days in „47 and „48 when we had, and gave Barbara the key to the city and had events and parades in her honour. The number of people that came out in those days to celebrate her accomplishments was certainly something, and in many ways, the city, in some way belongs to Barbara.
