To the late “Norrie” King, an old St. Catharines boy, must be given the credit of first suggesting the old canal, on whose waters he had spent his boyhood. At the regatta of 1901, at Ottawa, when the subject was first mentioned of a permanent course in order to get over the difficulty of rough water, he suggested to Mr. F.H. Thompson that excellent water could always be obtained at St. Catharines on the old canal, and that he thought it would be a splendid place at which to hold the C.A.A.O. regatta. Last year when a committee was formed to consider the sites Mr. Thompson, mindful of Mr. King’s suggestion, brought forward the claims of St. Catharines. It was visited among other places and finally selected as the course on which to decide the amateur rowing championships of Canada. [The St. Catharines Daily Standard, July 3, 1903]
