Here is an photograph of Olympic figure skater Barbara Ann Scott at the opening of Wallaceburg Arena in December 1950. Do you know who the young girl is?

Scott is the only Canadian to win the Olympic women’s figure skating gold medal.

She captured the prize in the 1948 Winter Games in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
