INFORMATION
The Deseronto Canoe Club was founded with fifteen members in 1884 by F.S. Rathbun who went on to become ACA Commodore two years later. In 1885, Rathbun organised what was to be known as the first "Canadian Canoe Club Meet" at Deseronto and presented a handsome cup to be raced for monthly during the 1885 season. Deseronto expected to build a large boathouse in the spring of 1885 according to "The American Canoeist" magazine, April 1885.
