| INFORMATION |
After
a devastating fire destroyed the Island
Amateur Aquatic Association, the
club was reorganised in 1939 as the Island
Canoe Club, thanks to the efforts
of chief organisers Aubrey Ireland Sr. and Len Johnson.
The club eventually folded in 1959-60 (the club's last
Trials appearance and CCA medal was in 1959) after the
city of Toronto razed houses and forced residents to
relocate in the late 1950s. Those members spread along
the Lake Ontario coast, founding many more clubs that
have since risen to prominence (see Mississauga,
Mohawk, West
Rouge).
