INFORMATION
The St. John’s Canoe Club was founded in 1977 by Roger Pearson. The club revived a rich tradition of competitive canoeing on Quidi Vidi Lake, lasting in the association until 1990. The club's start coincided with the staging of the Canada Games in St. John's that summer. The Quidi Vidi Boathouse is now occupied by the St. John's Rowing Club.
