INFORMATION

The Ottawa Canoe Club formed in 1883, was the first recorded club to win the CCA Championship. In 1885, a floating boathouse was erected near the Chaudiere Mill at the foot of St. Patrick's street which lasted until 1894. Ottawa's clubhouse at Rockcliffe was then built after having found the previous premises "inadequate." The club was a prominent fixture in Ottawa life around the turn of the century, hosting dances, and joint regattas with other local clubs. They sought to amalgamate with other local clubs and eventually merged with the New Edinburgh Canoe Club (1904) in 1914 to become the Ottawa-New Edinburgh Canoe Club. This new club operated out of the original OCC building for nine years until 1923 when the new building was completed.
