| INFORMATION |
|
The
Burquitlam
Kayak & Canoe Club was founded in 1967
as the Burnaby Canoe Club.
In 1974, BCC did not compete in any regattas but remained
an active member while the municipality made plans to tear
down their Deer Lake complex and build a new multi-sport
centre. Meanwhile, the Burnaby
Aquatic Club took out new membership the same
year and most of BCC's paddlers relocated along with most
of the club's equipment (CCA Annual Report 1974). In the
July 28, 1975 CCA Bulletin, it was announced that the Burnaby
Canoe Club had a new name, the Burquitlam Canoe Club. They
scored points at the 1977 and 1978 National Championships
but folded shortly thereafter in 1981. It is not clear where
exactly Burquitlam was located, if they were still on Deer
Lake or migrated to Burnaby Lake alongside their new rivals.
Club founders were Fred L. Horompoly and Bill Collins.
Burquitlam was affectionately dubbed the "Barbecue"
Club by local rivals. |
