The first official Canadian championships for ladies were held at the CNE (Toronto) in 1963, and probably up until 1967. They were started again in 1972. As you can see, their ringer averages have increased considerably through the years to surpass the men's. More women are now playing and their caliber of play ranks them among the best in the world. Sandy McLachlin-Janssens was the first Canadian woman to win the World Title in that division, doing so in 1987 with 88.2%.
