| INFORMATION |
|
The
B.C.
Kayak and Canoe Club was founded in 1966
and was the second Pacific club to join the CCA. The club
held a Vancouver chapter on English Bay for multiple disciplines,
often using Burnaby Lake for flatwater training, and a Summerland
chapter on Lake Okanagan strictly for flatwater racing.
The club transferred its boats to Port Moody before folding.
This club is not to be confused with the Kayak
& Canoe Association of British Columbia
which held CCA member status in 1967 (as a conglomerate
of BC clubs). There was a Burrard
Canoe Club operating on or near English Bay
in the late 1970s but it is unclear if they were connected
in any way to the BC Kayak and Canoe Club. The Burrard club
seems to have vanished into thin air including most of their
boats and equipment, although a war canoe found its way
into the possession of local police! |
