Paris Crew Inducted into Canadian Rowing Hall of Fame
Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA) is proud to announce today the establishment of the Canadian Rowing Hall of Fame (CRHF) as well as the inaugural class of inductees. In canada, the sport of rowing has a long and storied history with many people that have nurtured and promoted its development. The CRHF has been established to recognize those outstanding athletes, coaches and builders who are responsible for RCA's continued excellence in rowing, both nationally and internationally. The Paris Crew captured Canada’s attention in it’s infancy when in 1867, just weeks after confederation, four men from Saint John, New Brunswick defeated heavy favourites including England and France at the World Amateur Rowing Championships in Paris, France. Robert Fulton, George Price, Samuel Hutton and Elijah Ross were celebrated for their victory across the young country, uniting Canadians in their excitement.
