Judo club turns 60 The Smithers Judo Club celebrated its 60th anniversary. The club was founded in 1954 by former Smithers resident Henry Boas out of a mutual interest in the sport. “I like the philosophy. You’re working together with a mutual prosperity,” said Boas. Head coach Bernie Mattie has kept the club’s numbers consistent, while quietly training its students to compete in competitions around the country.
