About Angela Bailey

An Olympian, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a competitor, a generous spirit. These are just a few words of how people will remember Angela Bailey who lost her battle on July 31, 2021 to complicated conditions as she was battling cancer.

Bailey enjoyed a distinguished career as a sprinter, representing Canada with pride at the Olympics and Commonwealth Games, as well as at the World Championships and other international meets. She also won three silver medals in 4x100 relays at the Commonwealth Games in 1978, 1982 and 1986. She set the Canadian 100 metres record in July 1987 in Hungary and earlier that year also won bronze in the 60 metres at the World Indoor Championships. Bailey also holds Canada's indoor track record for the 200 metres at 23.32 seconds.

She was inducted into the Mississauga Sports Hall of Fame in 1993 and the Athletics Ontario Hall of Fame in 2014.

Off the track, Bailey earned a law degree from Queen's University in 1996 and was called to the Bar of Ontario in 2003.
