INFORMATION
The Toronto Canoe Club was founded in 1880 by nine men wishing to establish a union of aquatic sporting activities at Toronto Harbour. Their first clubhouse was built on the waterfront in 1893 as the club rose to prominence in the American Canoe Association. They regularly hosted their regattas on Hanlan's Bay between the Islands and the northern docks although some regattas were held at the foot of Cherry Street on the eastern side of the harbour. In 1911, the Toronto Harbour Commission elected to relocate clubs in order to develop the area for shipping and transport. After World War I, the Toronto Canoe Club moved to the sheltered eastern shore of Humber Bay. Toronto was the first Canadian club to specialise in canoeing disciplines. They won the CCA championship eight times (seven consecutive) and hockey’s Memorial Cup in 1920. The Toronto Sailing & Canoe Club was established in 1939, officially taking over the former club. Members were known as the ‘Red Ringers.’ The red and black jersey colours of Toronto Sailing were adopted before the name change, from at least 1937, although there is a dark jersey from 1925 (seen at left) with a red ring. It is unclear what colour this jersey is, either black or blue. David Town's "Two Jacks" indicates that Toronto raced in blue colours at the 1906 Henley regatta.
