| INFORMATION |
The
Ottawa
Canoe Club formed in 1883
and by 1885, a floating boathouse was erected near the
Chaudiere Mill at the foot of St. Patrick's street which
lasted until 1894. (seen below) Ottawa's clubhouse at
Rockcliffe was then built after having found the previous
premises "inadequate." (possibly due to the
sawdust lingering on the water) The club was a prominent
fixture in Ottawa life around the turn of the century,
hosting dances, and joint regattas with other local
clubs like the Aylmer Boating Club. Ottawa was the first
recorded club to win the CCA Championship in 1904. 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 OCC building for nine
years until 1923 when the new building was completed.
