The
Jubilee
Boat Club was founded around 1908 and
joined the bursting popularity of boating activities
on the Northwest Arm alongside St. Mary's and Northwest
Arm Rowing Club with the Weagwoltic Club emerging a
year later. The Dartmouth Boys' Christian Association
purchased Jubilee's C15 which was one of only four C15s
in the Maritimes at the time, originally purchased in
1919 from the William English Canoe Company. By 1924
they were known as the Jubilee A.A.C. (Amateur Aquatic
Club?). The use of the club changed over time and by
the 1970s, it was a popular site for wedding receptions.
Located at the foot of Jubilee Road, the site today
is now a boat launch.
