| INFORMATION |
The
Ajax
Canoe Club lasted only two years, from
1971 to 1972, with some of its members winning medals
at the national championships. According to coach Fred
Heese, the club was an "ill-conceived offshoot of
the West Rouge Canoe
Club." Jim Hobbs was the first
and only commodore. The club folded in most part due to
the limited water facilities on the lake which seriously
affected training. Ajax was sponsored for CCA membership
by Balmy Beach and West Rouge Canoe Clubs. |
