| INFORMATION |
| Five
time champions, Balmy
Beach Canoe Club has existed unofficially
since 1905 on the Toronto lake shore east of the islands,
although official organisation and entrance into the CCA
(under the name Beach Canoe Club)
came in 1909. Prior to 1909, paddling was merged with the
Beach Success Club.
The club currently offers lawn bowling, rugby, hockey and
squash, and also has the distinction of winning Canadian
football’s Grey Cup in 1927 and 1930. Deeded to the
Beach residents by Sir Adam Wilson, the club has survived
two fires in 1936 and 1963. Members have been known as the
“Beaches." Balmy Beach was well-known throughout
the 40's, 50's and 60's for their war canoe crews, captained
almost always by Jim Mossman. After a period of decline,
the club has resurged in recent years, culminating in a
second-place finish at the 2015 National Championships.
