INFORMATION
The Wascana Racing Canoe Club is a Regina-based competitive and recreational canoe and kayak club founded in 1986. With a strong volunteer base, Wascana has achieved much recognition in Western Canada in its short history. The current clubhouse was built in 1996 and Wascana Lake underwent a deepening project in 2003 to increase the lake’s depth to 18 feet. Wascana is a Cree word meaning “pile of bones.”

* There is some debate as to whether the Wascana club is directly related to the Regina Canoe Club which existed on Wascana Lake immediately prior to 1986. The Regina club was founded 1973, entered CCA the following year, went on hiatus for a while and was rejuvenated in 1983. They entered CCA again in 1984 and the name "Regina Canoe Club" appears on the National Championships program in 1985 and in 1986. "Wascana" appears for the first time in 1987. It is entirely possible that they are the same club reorganised, much like the Toronto and Parkdale clubs of the 1930s. There is no relation to the Regina Boat Club which inquired into CCA membership in 1936 and went on to become the Regina Rowing Club.
