Canada was host country for the 1930 British Empire Games, which were held at Hamilton, Ontario, and was one of only eleven countries to be represented at the inaugural Games. Melville Marks (Bobby) Robinson of Canada had been asked to organise the inaugural British Empire Games in 1928. At these first Games, Canada won 54 medals against England's 61. Newfoundland competed separately at the 1930 British Empire Games, but did not win any medals. Newfoundland also sent a team to the 1934 British Empire Games, but from 1938 has competed as part of Canada. Medals Athletics Men's 100 Yard Dash Percy Williams - Gold, 9.9 s Johnny R.
