INFORMATION

The Lachine Rowing Club was one of two disciplines formed out of the revived Lachine Boating Club in 1919. With a strong rivalry with their namesakes, the Lachine Racing Canoe Club, Lachine Rowing dominated the Lachine canoeing scene for the first four years after revival. Eventually, as rowing took precedence, the club moved away from the CCA to focus on other exploits. After folding by 1961 (last year of racing), the club was revived in the 1990s and is now a top-level rowing club. Lachine Rowing Club hosted the Eastern Division Championships in 1919 at Dixie (just west of Lachine) and captured silver in Intermediate C1 at Nationals.
