WESTERN DIVISION CLUB REGATTA CHAMPIONS

Below are listed, where known, the champion clubs of the Western Division club regattas (Western Ontario). Only those regattas whose results were published in the papers or physical burgees have been documented are included here. If and when other champions become known, they will be added to this list.

(This list is a working document and will take some time to populate accurately)

WESTERN ONTARIO DIVISION CLUB REGATTA CHAMPIONS
The concept of a grand aggregate winner, or regatta honours, did not really gain traction until after WW1. Before the war, clubs held "Spring" regattas or "closed" regattas which were mostly contested between their own members.
This list begins counting honours in 1920 when the regular paddling circuit resumed with a full schedule in the Western Division.

1 The results for the Island regatta are very slim in the papers. Only three races with 5 points to TCC.
2
These two regattas (1928 and 1932) are only sparsely reported on. These winners are based on the few results printed in the papers.
3
The article for the Balmy Beach Regatta states that Mississauge has won 4/5 club burgees so far this year, meaning they must have won the Mississauga and Mohawk regattas.
4 Contrary to the practice in the Eastern and Northern Divisions, the Western Divisional Qualifying Regatta was never part of the regular club regatta rotation, instead being hosted by the Division at Hanlan's point until 1937, and then consistently at Long Pond into the 21st Century.
5 The July 14 article for the Balmy Beach regatta states that Beach have failed to win three previous regattas and that Toronto is the "recently successful" club. Toronto won DDRA, so it stands to reason they won their own regatta.

* May be inaccurate
** Sunnyside Pavillion held a series of weekly regattas throughout the 1920s, attended periodically by the major canoe clubs in the Toronto area. This may be responsible for the lack of a club regatta here and there, particularly the Island Aquatic Association.
