INFORMATION
Toronto Island Canoe Club surfaced in 1978 thanks to the efforts of John Hollins Sr. and a grant from Wintario. While the new club is clearly closely associated with the former Island Canoe Club, due to factors such as different location, different name and the significant time period between stints, the two organisations are technically not the same entity. When the Toronto Racing Canoe Club folded in 1995, transferring boats to the Island club, it was seen, by some, to be a merger of the two clubs. Toronto Island occupies the old firehall on Ward's Island, complete with ghosts! 1970s colours: Green, Blue and Yellow on White.
