One of Lawrie Kerr's legacies is the pond named in his honour on the 4th hole at Royal Colwood Golf Club. However, it was his phenomenal activity in and around the game that ultimately produced his greater legacies. Lawrie's on-course accomplishments and, later, his dedication promoting the game, will endure for generations. In 60 years of golf he served his club as a caddie to president. And on the way he won an astonishing seven club championships. Those distinctions led to Royal Colwood bestowing on him an honourary life membership in 1995. His exploits as a competitive golfer remain among the most storied in the region. The winner of eight city amateur championships, a pair of senior men's titles as well as the Island Open, B.C. Closed and Amateur titles. The talented golfer also turned his attention to promote the game full time. He took on roles as the Zone rep to BCGA rules chairman and worked tirelessly as a member of tournament host committees to ensure the success of the professional golf events staged annually in the region.

In the 1940s to 1960s it was hard to find many swimmers around Victoria who did not have some connection to Marjorie Naysmith. Margie, who never took formal swimming lessons, picked up some teaching techniques while watching her own children take swimming lessons. A natural teacher, who was great with kids, first volunteered by helping Archie McKinnon at the old YMCA pool and later took on some classes herself. That led to her teaching individual and small group lessons to children at the original Crystal Garden pool well into the 1960's. Meanwhile, the Daily Colonist approached her with the idea of her giving children free summer lessons at Elk Lake sponsored by the newspaper. Margie enthusiastically took on the challenge and in the summer of 1953 began the first of what would be 18 straight years of Colonist Free Swim Lessons to Greater Victoria's youth. By the time the program had run its course, after the opening of municipal pools, it was estimated that 17,000 youngsters had been taught the basics of swimming by Margie and her young assistants. She continued to work as a volunteer with visually impaired and handicapped at CFB Naden pool. Margie was honoured in 1966 as Victoria's Good Citizen of the Year and in 1971 the Municipality of Saanich recognized her for her years of Community Service.
