Le
Club
Nautique de Montreal started
up in 1981 and applied for CCA membership in 1982 as
Le Club Nautique en
de Plein Air on Montreal’s
Olympic Basin (Île Notre Dame), capitalising on
the legacy of the 1976 Olympic Games. The name change
occurred shortly afterwards and after folding in 1988,
the club resurfaced in 1995 as Societé
du Parc des Îles (although
they are still referred to as Plein Air in the 2000
program). Today the organisation is a part of the larger
Le Societé
Parc Jean Drapeau.
