| 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 with a notable second-place finish
at the 2015 National Championships.
