INFORMATION
The Bohemian Amateur Athletic Association was founded 1898 alongside the other Brockville clubs and was also a founding club of the Canadian Canoe Association in 1900. The club started out as a more viable option for the working men of the community, initially christened the Mechanics Athletic Association of Brockville. Many members were from the Brockville Rowing Club. Bohemian continued with war canoeing until about 1906 at which point it left the CCA (after the Dominion Championships which they attended). By 1913, the club disbanded and did not revive after WWI. Members were often known simply as the "Bohs". Bohemian entered war canoe races at the ACA Sugar Island Regatta while members of the CCA. They finished runners-up to Brockville YMCA in both C15 events in 1905.
