| INFORMATION |
The
Britannia Aquatic
Club was first organised (as the
Britannia Boating
and Glee Club) in 1887, became
the Britannia Nautical
Club in 1890, Britannia
Boat-House Club in 1895 and, in
1906, the Britannia
Boating Club. The club was a founding
member of the CCA in 1900 after noted member Edward
R. McNeill tried unsuccessfully in 1899 to form a distinct
Canadian canoeing body separate from the American Association.
Britannia hosted the championships at Lac Deschênes
in 1902, 1908 and 1911, and suffered a major fire in
1918. Britannia withdrew its CCA membership in 1940,
but still operates today as the Britannia
Yacht Club with a new building
and a lot of pride in their past achievements. Members
were often referred to as "the Brits."
