| INFORMATION |
|
The
St.
Mary’s Boat Club was founded in 1896
on Halifax Harbour but relocated to the Northwest Arm, their
clubhouse erected there in 1905. Originally called the St.
Mary’s Christian Temperance Association and Benevolent
Society, the club went through a variety
of name associations, including St.
Mary’s Aquatic Club, St.
Mary’s Rowing Club, St.
Mary’s Recreation Club and St.
Mary’s Amateur Aquatic Association.
St. Mary’s was the lone Halifax club in the original
Maritime Division, entering CCA in 1957 to help form a three-club
Maritime Division. Leaving again in 1960, St. Mary's still
sent representatives to the 1963 Dominion Championship in
Ottawa (according to the Montreal Gazette). Today, St. Mary's
uses the same facilities originally occupied in 1919 as
the St. Mary’s Boat
Club and rent space to the Halifax
Rowing Club. |
