- History / Biographical
- Matt Ages (b. 1919 - d. 1994 in Ottawa), the son of Jacob and Margaret (Halpern). His father was in the Ice business and was involved in cutting ice from the Ottawa River in winter, storing and delivering ice. Matt attended Nepean High School and after graduation entered the Federal Government in the Customs and Excise Department. He was actively involved in sport and was an excellent softball and hockey player. Matt has at least one sister, Mary Ages, who was an orphan adopted by his parents. In 1941, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force and initially played on the R.C.A.F hockey team. After obtaining his pilot’s wings, he was selected as an instructor. He married Esther Rafal in August 1941 before being posted overseas. He flew Halifax bombers, followed by the more up-to-date Lancasters. After the Second World War Matt returned to Ottawa and went back to work in his former department of the Federal Government and became a member of the Ottawa Post of the Jewish War Veterans. Besides softball and hockey, he played tennis, bowling and golf. He won a club championship at the Rideau View Golf Club and was later inducted into the Ottawa Jewish Sports Hall of Fame due to his all-around sports related talents. Esther Rafal Ages (b. 1921 - d. December 20, 2013) was the daughter of Bernard Rafal and Rose Levinsky. She had two sisters, Anita (Thomas) and Shirley (Osborne). Esther's father Bernard was born in Russia and in Ottawa was a street car conductor. He passed away around 1940. Esther was a very popular young person and was voted AZA sweetheart for 1939 or 1940. She also led the Jewish Girl Guides at the York Street School and during the war joined the Red Cross. Later in her married life she joined Ottawa Hadassah-Wizo and became President of the Ruth Chapter. She was also involved in Pioneer Women. Esther and Matt had two children, Debi Ages and Barry Ages.

- Notes
- 1. Lillian Edelson started the first Jewish Girl Guides troop at York Street School in the 1930's as related by Esther Ages. 2. Esther Ages thought she was AZA Sweetheart in 1936. However, upon speaking with Sam Ages (her brother-in-law) he stated his family did not move downtown until 1939. It was not until this time that he was able to become an AZA member and attended the ball when Esther Rafal was crowned.
