The Diefenbaker Trophy: Awarded for supremacy in 'Blue Shirts" golf

House of Commons Diefenbaker Trophy

Const. Lionel Gibson of the House of Commons Security Services shows off the Diefenbaker Trophy awarded to the top golfer at the annual tournament for members of the House of Commons Security Services staff. Former prime minister John Diefenbaker donated the trophy himself, the only such trophy believed to be so designated by a prime minister.

Gibson, here, is in his street clothes, last Thursday, the day before the Tournament. He's normally seen by Hill denizens in the familiar uniform of the Parliamentary security staff: A blue shirt, black pants, and caps.

But last Friday, the members of the security services donned golf shirts and headed out to Buckingham Golf Course for the annual tourney.
