Beginning in 1984, the "Book of Champions," compiled by former CCA Commodore C. Fred Johnston, has been a definitive go-to guide for all paddlers curious to know champions, clubs, times and other fascinating bits of information about the races that have enthralled us for over a century. The second edition, "100 Years of Champions," was published in 2003 and now here we are, truly entrenched in the digital age where the demand for updated information has pushed this much-thumbed resource to make the leap to the internet.

Convergence of the Twain...

The Book of Champions (BOC) online edition is now coupled with Canada's Sprint Canoe Clubs (CSCC), the online pictorial guide created by Liam Birch. You will find many cross-over links to CSCC, especially through club logos accompanying each entry. Many of the features of the original BOC are now expanded in colour on the CSCC site.
