INFORMATION
The Kitchener Racing Canoe Club revolved mainly around the activity of Aubrey Ireland Jr. Officially founded in 1936 by Hugh Mercer, there is no official record of the club having been ratified by the association. They competed in the Western Division in 1940, 1941 and 1946. There was a defeated CCA motion in 1940 to suspend the club, lending credence to Kitchener's full-member status at the time. Most CCA programs indicate that the club's colours were gold and brown, however the 1947 program indicates gold and blue. This is likely a typo as the club's stationery was also gold and brown.
