Summary Toronto has rich history. Commemorating significant contributors who had an impact the City's fabric is important. William George Barker, Victoria Cross recipient, born in 1894, first came to live in Toronto in 1919 following World War I with his best friend Billy Bishop. Mr. Barker would call the City of Toronto his home until his death in 1930. During his short life, William G. Barker VC had a substantial influence on the City with his numerous achievements including: created the first commercial airline (“Bishop Barker Airlines”) that flew out of Armour Heights and from Lake Ontario by what is aptly named Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport; requested the first landing rights at the City Island for a venture that flew passengers from Toronto to Muskoka during the summer months; with Billy Bishop, began what is now known as the Toronto International Air Show; was the first President of the newly christened Toronto Maple Leafs under new owner Conn Smythe, whom William G.

  • WILLIAM AVERY “BILLY” BISHOP, VC, CB, DSO and Bar, MC, DFC, ED
    WILLIAM AVERY “BILLY” BISHOP, VC, CB, DSO and Bar, MC, DFC, ED 1894 – 1956 William Avery “Billy” Bishop, was Canada’s leading fighter pilot in the First World War and is the top Canadian “ace” (having five victories or more) of all time, racking up a total of 72 confirmed victories before the end of the war. Born February 8, 1894, in Owen Sound, Ontario, Bishop enrolled in the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario, at the age of 17. When the First World War broke out in 1914, Bishop, like hundreds of thousands of young men across the country, signed up to serve in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. In 1915, Bishop requested, and was granted, a transfer to the Royal Flying Corps, where he would emerge as one of the most lethal aces of the war. Among his many military honours, he was awarded the highest military decoration a Canadian could receive – the Victoria Cross – "for most conspicuous bravery, determination and skill”, on June 2, 1917. At the end of the war, Bishop achieved the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. Upon returning to Canada, Bishop and fellow Victoria Cross winner and Canadian air ace William “Billy” Barker founded a charter seaplane service operating out of Toronto Harbour with flights to fishing camps in northern Ontario. At the end of his military service, Bishop maintained his links with the air force. In 1938, he was made an honorary Air Vice-Marshall in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and served as a celebrity recruiting agent. He promoted the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, which had been established in Canada to train Commonwealth pilots from around the world at the dawn of the Second World War.

  • The 1917 Allan Cup Championship
    The 1917 Allan Cup Championship From January to February 1917 four teams strived for the championship of the Thunder Bay League who would then play for the Allan Cup against five other teams. The four Thunder Bay teams consisted of the 141st Battalion, Port Arthur, Fort William, and Schreiber. Whichever team won would then be playing from February to March 1917 for the Allan Cup, won by the 61st Winnipeg Battalion in 1916. Due to last year’s winner being overseas, they would be replaced by the Winnipeg Victorias and the 221st Winnipeg Battalion. Starting on January 1st of 1917, Port Arthur was up against Fort William in a very physical game of hockey. Fort William stayed in the lead since the beginning of the game, only giving Port Arthur one goal against them during the whole Port Arthur News Chronicle game, and won with a high score of 6-1. January 2, 1917 After Port Arthur took the win on the fourth, the 141st Battalion went head to head against Fort William, again keeping the score tied for most of the game. Luckily they did not have to go into overtime and instead, while Fort William had a lead of 3-2 in the third period of the game, the soldiers turned the play around and scored three more goals within nine minutes left of the game, ultimately defeating Fort William Three days after Port Arthur’s loss on the first they had to play the 141st Battalion in a racing fight to win. By third period they were tied 2-2 and were forced to go into overtime.

Over 50 Saints, including the likes of Mark Messier, Rob Brown, Brian Benning, Stu Barnes, Mike Comrie, Steve Reinprecht and Fernando Pisani have played for the Saints on their way to the National Hockey League. The aforementioned Saints legends paved the way for the likes of Ben Scrivens, Matt Benning, Carson Soucey, Kodi Curran and Ian Mitchell to reach their hockey dreams of playing in the NHL. With the growing list of NHL players, they are joined by an unparalleled list of Saints alumni that have advanced to all levels of professional hockey in North America and Europe as well as the many Canadian College, University, and NCAA committed players both current and past. The alumni are a testament to the winning culture and reputation of this renowned franchise. The Saints are the only remaining franchise to survive from the original inception of the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) in 1963. In 1972 the Edmonton Movers and Edmonton Maple Leafs combined to become the Edmonton Mets who, in turn became the Spruce Grove Mets in 1974.

Mike Donachie/Metro Gripping his gold medal tightly, London’s own Olympic treasure smiled modestly as he received a rare honour. Friday was Andy Gilpin Day, his friends and fellow veterans declared as they shook hands and snapped pictures with the city’s link to Olympic glory. As the rest of the world focused on the opening ceremony (http://metronews.ca/features/games-on-in-russia/934349/pseudo-lesbians- ballet-in-sochi-olympics-opening/) in Sochi (http://metronews.ca/features/games-on-in-russia), a group of Londoners crammed into a building near the airport for lunch and to hear the stories about Gilpin, a 1948 Olympian. He’s 93 now, but his energy is still there. “I played hockey until I was 70,” he said. “I quit hockey because I got hurt, but it didn’t stop me skating.” Back in 1948, Gilpin went all the way to St. Moritz, Switzerland, for the Olympics with the Canadian hockey team, who went on to win gold. As a reserve, he didn’t get to play in the event but was still part of the team and awarded a medal. Originally from Montreal, Gilpin’s been a hockey fan all his life, playing since he was 5-years-old.
