[3] Morfitt has remained active in Masters level sports, including being ranked #1 nationally in the Canadian Men’s 80+ Singles for tennis in 2016, having previously ranked #1 in both squash and racquetball at the national Masters level.
Morfitt later served first as Executive VP[2] and then as the CFO of the Diamond Group of Companies for twenty years, between 1967 and 1988.
[5] He served two full terms, despite a provincial government run by a rival party vowing to try and remove him—which turned out to be an unsuccessful effort in 1994.
His 2007 report found the system to be safely operated, and within five years, all but one of his further 41 safety improvement recommendations were at least partially implemented.
