Muriel Knott was born in 1917 and started playing Badminton in the old Steam Power Plant on the site of the Port Royal Housing Development. She then moved to playing at the first real facility in the area, the West Road Hall. That Hall was rebuilt during the Depression in what is now the Brentwood Community Center. She won the Saanich Open in 1933 and 1935, and went on to become ranked #3 in Canada. Murial put countless hours into Badminton and was passionate about it as a Life Long Sport. She ran Junior programs for many years. Her daughters Anne and Pat have taken over the running of the tournament and continue in the family tradition. They point out that the schedule and the spirit of the Tournament is the same as the first year it started when the Brentwood Bay Community Center was built. And if you listen closely you can hear Muriel say, "Thanks for coming!".
