The
Orillia
Canoe Club was
officially 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 as that was their home lake). 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.
