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. |
