| 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). |
