Cecil Smith (1936-2016)

Cecil Smith, former Executive Director of the Ontario Track & Field Association (now known as Athletics Ontario) for a quarter century, passed away on Friday December 2, 2016.

Cecil’s contributions to the sport of Athletics in Ontario were extensive. Cecil was inducted into the Athletics Ontario Hall of Fame in 2010.

Cecil was the publisher of Athletics Magazine and numerous National Statistical annuals. Born in 1936, Cecil Smith arrived in Canada in the 1970’s and began his involvement with Ontario as a volunteer coach with the Toronto Striders. He also got involved in the administrative side of the sport, initially as the Chairman of the Ontario Coaches Association and later he was appointed Executive Director of the OTFA – a position he retained until retiring 25 years later.
