| INFORMATION |
|
The
Peterborough
Canoe Club was founded before 1936, and
officially joined CCA under the green and red colours the
following year (although one athlete medaled in the Junior
C1 in 1936). The club lasted intermittently until 2000 with
a strong presence in the 1970s. Their second official CCA
entry was in 1996 although an article in 1965 for the Toronto
Sailing regatta claims they are the newest club to join
the division that year. In the nineteenth century, canoeing
prospered in the region. An earlier incarnation known as
the Peterborough Boating
Club (c1872 and listed in ACA yearbooks
in the 1890s as both Peterborough Boating and Canoe Club
and Peterborough Canoe Club. This club moved from their
original premises on King Street when the CPR built new
lines) raced in American Canoe Association regattas on Stony
Lake with the likes of the Lindsay
Canoe Club and the Lakefield
Canoe Club. The Peterborough club hosted their
own regattas as early as 1872. A point of interest is the
expectation in 1969 of a formal application from the Stewart-Auburn
Griffin Canoe Club of Peterborough, Ontario.
Nothing else is known about this club or its affiliation,
if any, with the Peterborough Canoe Club. |
