INFORMATION
The Banook Canoe Club is the oldest active club in the Atlantic Division, established by businessmen from the former Chebucto Amateur Athletic Club (c1885). Established in 1903 on the former site of the Knockabout Club, the “Redmen” or “Banooks” have a long history of success despite not joining the Canadian Canoe Association until 1953. Banook has a long history of national and international success, dominating the Atlantic canoeing scene for many decades until the establishment of further local clubs. Allan Billard's "Banook Canoe Club - Voices From Our Past" provides a wonderful in-depth look into the history of the club from before its establishment to the 100th anniversary in 2002. Aside from canoeing and kayaking, Banook offers swimming, summer arts and craft programs and a fully functional gymnasium. Banook is named after the lake, the Mi’Kmaq word for “first in a chain of lakes."
