About this club
Leander Boat Club of Hamilton is a community rowing club at 50 Leander Drive in Hamilton. Its official site says it has provided rowing in the city since 1927.
The club offers learn-to-row for newcomers, recreational rowing and competitive training. Its programme covers different experience levels rather than operating solely as an elite racing organisation.
Leander's men's heavyweight eight was a leading Canadian crew in the early 1930s. The crew won bronze at the first British Empire Games, then won the 1932 Canadian Olympic trials while setting a course record.
That eight represented Canada at the 1932 Olympic Games. Row Ontario later inducted the crew into its Hall of Fame, preserving the result as a specific club honour rather than a general claim about historical success.
The club continues to support university-level and international pathways. Its current news has documented Leander athlete participation in FISU competition.
Leander also hosts Hammer the Erg, an annual indoor rowing event covered by Row Ontario. The club's current identity consistently includes 'of Hamilton' on its official website, so the canonical name is expanded accordingly.
