INFORMATION |
The
Smiths
Falls Canoe Club
was founded in the late 1890s and joined the CCA’s
Northern Division in 1901. The clubhouse was built in 1902
on the west end of Lock Island at Jones's lock. Tragically,
four popular men drowned on the Rideau and the canoe club
subsequently went into decline. The mid-1920s saw a brief
revival when the Smiths Falls Aquatic Club
applied for CCA membership in 1926, hosting an open regatta
after the Northern Division Championships. Their 1927 war
canoe crew was captained by Bill Carnegie. There was also
a Frost & Wood Athletic Club
who put together a war canoe team. (It is interesting to
note that the club was also a member of the ACA at the same
time as CCA and won the war canoe trophy at the ACA's 1902
meet in Carleton Place.) |
