| INFORMATION |
Lachine
has the distinction of being the oldest canoe club in Quebec,
although early history is somewhat vague and there was a
hiatus prior to the club's refounding in 1919. Records indicate
that the club was founded c1863 as the Lachine
Boating Club
by a group of British, Scottish and Canadian railway engineers
interested in organising a club for oarsmen. By the time
the club helped to found the Canadian Canoe Association,
its name had changed to the Lachine Boating
& Canoeing Club, as evidenced on
joint regatta programs with the St. Stephen’s club
(see logo below). 1911 is the last time that the Lachine
Boating Club appears in the medals at the Dominion
Championship regatta before going on hiatus. When Lachine
reorganised in 1919, they formed two disciplines for Rowing
and Canoeing. By 1920, Lachine
Racing Canoe Club joins the Eastern
Division, but only Lachine Rowing sends athletes to Nationals.
For 1921, "100 Years of Champions" lists Alexander
Lindsay as competing under both the racing and
rowing names in the same year whereas he officially
competed for Lachine Rowing Club that year. It
is important to note that the Lachine Rowing Club
also traces its roots back to 1863 via the Lachine Boating
Club. It is likely that when the Lachine Racing
Canoe Club name was established, the two disciplines
(canoeing and rowing) formally separated into two distinct
clubs although canoers clearly competed for the rowing arm.
Lachine Rowing Club medals pre-dating 1919 are amongst those
donated to the CCA Archives by long-time paddlers. Lachine
Racing Canoe Club is a ten-time winner
of the CCA championship. |
