AMERICAN
CANOE ASSOCIATION est.
1880 |
|
The
American Canoe Association was formed in 1880. Many
Canadian clubs belonged to the ACA as part of its Northern
Division until 1900 when the CCA founding clubs formed
their own Canadian Association. By 1889, there were
up to 23 Canadian member clubs in the ACA.

1
Unlikely to be the same clubs as the later CCA members in
the 1900s due to their official founding dates.
2
Cataraqui disappears from the ACA Club Members list in 1895.
KYC appears in numbers in the 1896 list.They are likely
the same organisation rebranded.
3
4
In 1885, members of the Lachine Boating Club formed the
Lake St-Louis Canoe Club as a canoe-centred outfit and began
hosting regattas that year.
5
Gananoque seems to have had a consistent membership with
the ACA since at least 1893 and continuing into the 1900s
when some members won the ACA Paddling Trophy. It is entirely
likely that the club reorganised/rebranded as the Gananoque
Motor Boat & Canoe Club in 1906.
(1967 saw a Lakefield Preparatory School affiliated with
CCA as an associate club.) |
