INFORMATION
Five time champions, Balmy Beach Canoe Club has existed unofficially since 1905 on the Toronto lake shore east of the islands, although official organisation and entrance into the CCA (under the name Beach Canoe Club) came in 1909. Prior to 1909, paddling was merged with the Beach Success Club. The club currently offers lawn bowling, rugby, hockey and squash, and also has the distinction of winning Canadian football’s Grey Cup in 1927 and 1930. Deeded to the Beach residents by Sir Adam Wilson, the club has survived two fires in 1936 and 1963. Members have been known as the “Beaches." Balmy Beach was well-known throughout the 40's, 50's and 60's for their war canoe crews, captained almost always by Jim Mossman. After a period of decline, the club has resurged in recent years, culminating in a second-place finish at the 2015 National Championships.
