Canada’s stroll down memory lane promotes 2015 Lyon worlds
Doug “Shaggy” Smith of Ontario posted this video showing images of Canadians at world masters championships since the 1970s. It’s meant to encourage Canadian sign-ups for Lyon worlds in August 2015. “Be part of history!” Doug writes, adding with a snarky smile: “AMERICAN FRIENDS **Caution** – you may find this short video so stirring that you may want to defect north!!” Well, maybe not. But the idea of encouraging countrymen to join the national team is worth replicating south of the northern border — but with a different national anthem as background music.
Canadians hosted the first world masters meet (Toronto 1975), of course.

Nice job as usual Doug… Hey USA…can we do one of these to recruit people??
We did one in Costa Rica at the NCCWMA meet, we also plan on taking a team picture during the world meet in France on several different days to try and get as many people as we can in the photo. As you all know most athletes don’t stay the entire time of the meet.
Rousing…I think I’m emigrating to Canada!!!
Great job, Doug ….very good and/et tres bien!
