The
Orillia
Canoe Club was
founded in 1894 and joined the CCA in 1909. The club hosted
a Dominion Day regatta in 1903, a local regatta in 1905
(annual) and some members won medals at the 1909 national
championships in Toronto. Orillia was also host to the Western
Division's qualifying regatta in 1909 but by 1911, the club
had officially "resigned" from the Association.
Although the official founding was in 1894, the club existed
as the Orillia C.C.C.
as early as 1888 as part of the American Canoe Association
regattas on Lake Couchiching. It is unknown what the extra
"C" in the club's name stood for (possibly Couchiching).
An attempted revival occured in the 1930s with correspondence
to the CCA and a request to host a Division meet. The request
was ultimately turned down. According to David Town's
"Two Jacks," Orillia's colours in 1906 were Red
and Green. |
