Lew McCorkall was one of the best-known and most proficient softball umpires and basketball referees in Victoria sporting history. Behind the mask, Lew served for many years as Lower Island softball umpire-in-chief and umpired at the 1994 World Masters Games in Brisbane, Australia. He has been inducted into the Canadian Indicators Club and the BC Softball Walk of Fame. After 50 seasons of service he was named a lifetime member of the Victoria Basketball Officials Association. Lew was also quite an athlete. In his playing days at Oaklands school he was a member of winning lacrosse, rugby and basketball teams. He won the senior boys' high school aggregate championship in track and field as a Grade 10 student at Victoria High and he excelled in cycling, soccer and softball. After playing up to the Senior A levels in several sports, Lew began coaching both basketball and softball. He led his teams to several BC titles, including Morrison Motors, who won a total of six BC junior men's softball titles in the 1960s. Lew founded Victoria's first wheelchair basketball team and as a 75-year-old he won three gold medals at the California senior Olympics.

Lorna Pollock was one of B.C.'s greatest female tenpinners of all time. She set an all-time Victoria city mark with a three game total of 634, becoming the first Victoria woman to register three successive over 200 games. By 1969 Lorna was the BC women's champion and placed third at the Canadian championships. She retained her BC title in 1970 and was named BC's Tenpin Bowler of the Year for 1974 - 75 and again in 1977. This same year she was selected for Canada's team in the American zone championships in Panama and with her exceptional rolling, Canada won a silver medal. She was at it again in 1981, earning third best in Canada and being named to the national team for another WBC American zone playoff. Lorna's great skill aided Canada in winning the women's trio gold medal and a bronze in the five-player team category at the competition. She was inducted into the BC Bowling Hall of Fame and was nominated as Victoria's Female Athlete of The Year on two occasions.
