The Sudbury Canoe Club, located at 206 Ramsey Lake Road in Sudbury, has a rich history dating back to 1902 when it was first established as the Sudbury Boating Club. Over the years, the club has produced competitive paddlers who have medaled at national and international levels.

The Sudbury Canoe Club is a volunteer-driven organization that relies on the dedication of its members and supporters. The club offers a variety of membership options for individuals and families, with fees kept to a minimum to ensure accessibility for all.
