Summary
| Description |
English: Olympian Marjorie Turner-Bailey of Nova Scotia is
a descendant of black Loyalists, escaped slaves and freed men and women of African origin who in the 1780s fled to Canada from America, where slavery remained legal until 1863.[1] First Name: Marjorie Last Name: Turner-Bailey Sport: Track & Field Inductee Type: Athlete Year Inducted: 1984 Home Town: Lockeport County: Shelbourne County Details: Marjorie Turner-Bailey, of Lockeport, Nova Scotia, was a star soccer and basketball player for her high school teams. She first gained Provincial and Maritime recognition during the spring of 1964 when she astounded track and field followers with her sheer speed and strength at a Mount Allison University Invitation and the famed Acadia relays. She finished with a first place showing in the 100 and 200-yard dashes, the broad jump, and the shot put. Bailey single-handedly wrapped up the girls class “A” championship for Lockeport Regional High. She ran a 100-yard dash later that summer at Greenwood in 11.2, equalling a provincial record set by Olympic sprinter Aileen Meagher. From that point on she gained international recognition as she competed in major events throughout the world. She participated in the Pan American Games in Mexico, took part in the first World Cup in Germany, the Montreal Olympics, the Commonwealth Games in Jamaica, New Zealand, and Edmonton. Injuries prevented her appearance at the 1964 and 1968 Olympics. After winning a silver medal with the 4×100 relay team at the 1978 Commonwealth Games, she decided to retire. During her career, she established four Canadian track and field records. Marjorie was inducted into the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame in 1984.
