Ramesh Jagoo had no idea what a simple walk through Germain Park would lead to. Jagoo moved to Canada from Trinidad and Tobago in 1969, initially studying and working in Montreal before being transferred to Sarnia’s Union Carbide, now Nova Chemicals, in ’76. One year later, he was walking with his children through Germain and saw a familiar scene.

“That looks like cricket,” he recalled thinking. “I walk by, and sure enough.”

Jagoo played the sport while growing up in Trinidad, even representing his high school, but hadn’t picked up a bat or ball in 10 years. Nevertheless, he was convinced to join the Sarnia Cricket Club and eventually became president for 25 years while simultaneously climbing the executive ladder of the Southern Ontario Cricket Association, Ontario Cricket Association, and Cricket Canada.
