| INFORMATION |
The
Thunder Bay Kayak &
Canoe Club formed in 1977 under Atis
Bredovskis. They joined CCA around 1983, appearing on
the program as Lakehead Racing
Canoe Club for two years. After a brief hiatus,
they returned again in 1988 with the assistance of Doug
Charters. Eventually,
Lakehead
Canoe Club
was incorporated 1995 as a separate entity from
the recreation and whitewater aspects of TBKCC. In 1996,
the Lake
Superior Canoe & Kayak Club formed
as a rival but lasted only a few years. Lakehead boasts
a proud dragon boat program on top of its sprint canoe
and kayak activities. The club has suffered two fires
and continues to rebuild. |
