| INFORMATION |
|
The
Ottawa
Rowing Club
was an active member of the regatta cicuit
in the 1890s. They were in regular attendance at Ottawa
Canoe Club's annual regatta, competing in the C15 events,
usually in their club boat christened "Red Elephant."
The Red Elephant took first prize in the 1891, 1893 and
1894 C15 events. By 1902, ORC was entering athletes in the
double blade (kayak) races. When the Canadian Canoe Association
was conceived in 1900, ORC was not a part of the charter
members but did attend the championship regatta in Brockville
as there was both a rowing fours and a quarter mile swim
race on the following Monday as part of the Bohemian Club's
regatta. |

| INFORMATION |
|
The
Argonaut
Rowing Club
was one of three boating clubs originally
located in the inner Toronto Harbour along with the Royal
Canadian Yacht Club and the Toronto Canoe Club. The buildings
were forced to relocate in the 1930s due to waterfront redevelopment
which found the ARC relocate with the Toronto Canoe Club
to Humber Bay. Argonaut competed in the very first canoeing
events at the Dominion Day regatta in 1896, winning gold
in the very first Dominion Day C15 race. They medalled again
in 1898 and 1901 before eventually focusing wholly on rowing. |
