Health and Physical Education teacher at Weston Collegiate and Vocational School and Marjorie Shed of the University of Toronto were able to retain their Doubles title in the Badminton Closed during the 1965 Canadian Open and closed | Badminton Tournament held in Edmonton last month.In a letter to the Weston Board of Education she thanked the board for allowing her to part- ! icipate in the tournament stating: I “In the Open event we were de- I feated by the top U.S.A. team in the semi finals. This was an exciting match, it could have gone either way proving. I think that Canadians can compete internationally given the proper opportunities.’*The American girls subsequently defeated a highly noted team from England.Miss Tinline also drew attention to the Department of Physical Education in Ontario which is making a very definite attempt to stress the importance j of individual or “carry over ' sports for both girls and boys.“Badminton”, said Miss Tinline 1 “has become increasingly active in all high schools and universities. The University of Toronto now has two instructors of bad- i minton who are Canadian title holders. Miss Shed and Miss Whit- , taker. University training in this particular sport is becoming more ( specialized which in turn means :, a higher level of instruction for our high schools. And, from these schools some day. will come the future champions that Canada sorely needs.”
