Jim began volunteering for the Canadian Open in 1984 and has not missed being involved in one since. These accreditation passes for Canadian Open officials were created thirty years apart; Jim explains how they exemplify changes within the Canadian Open:
“This is a perfect illustration of how the Canadian Open has changed over my 35 years. The security and controls of access are fairly strict now and were non-existent in the early years. The presentation of the event is now a big, world-class sporting event that competes for audience and spectator attention with many other sporting events and other distractions. These badges show the evolution quite dramatically.”
