	*Tabulation of Points*

The Toronto Canoe Club Yearbook for 1909 lists the points table for the 1908 Championships in Ottawa (which Toronto won for the first time). However, they only award 2 points for a first and 1 point for a second. Those points totals are not listed here.
The Montreal Gazette seems to list inconsistent points totals that do not match the 3-2-1 system in place at the time. The above tabulation is based on actual results.

NB: The points used in "Canada's Sprint Canoe Clubs," (2006) are based on Senior/Junior events only from 1904 to 1915.

* There were only two official member clubs in the Western Division in 1908: Toronto CC and Island AAA. Other unaffiliated clubs competed alongside with them at a Divisional "qualifying" meet simply to "make a regatta of it." Only Parkdale joined the Division as a result, despite threats from the CAAU about the professionalisation of paddlers.
