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.
