| INFORMATION |
The
Banook
Canoe Club is the oldest active club in
the Atlantic Division, established by businessmen from
the former Chebucto
Amateur Athletic Club (founded
by British servicemen 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 1956.
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. An extensive
restoration project took place from 2023-2026 to repair
the lower levels of the building. Banook is named after
the lake, the Mi’Kmaq word for “first in a
chain of lakes." |
