I plan to provide information on Phyllis' career in sport. Finding little information on her childhood, where she was born, where she grew up, etc. In addition to her sport career, I will provide information on awards she has won, how she helped develop sport for Indigenous peoples in Canada, and her contribution to the baseball community.Laurenbreadner (talk) 01:38, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
