| INFORMATION |
The
Island
Amateur Aquatic Association was
founded on Long Pond in 1887 (some records say 1883,
although their fiftieth anniversary is mentioned in
the 1937 program) when Toronto Island was still a sandbar
void of green plants. The club's first regatta was held
in 1888 on Block House Bay, however, Island didn't join
the CCA until 1908. The first clubhouse on Long Pond
was built in 1906, the club having taken up residence
in John Hanlan's premises from 1889 to 1906. After a
devastating fire, the club was reorganised in 1939 as
the Island
Canoe Club.
