HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR
THE BOULEVARD CLUB
Toronto, ON

 

The Boulevard Club:

For 115 years, there has been a place on the lakeshore devoted to athletic endeavour and a sense of community that is truly unique. It all started August 11th, 1905 when the Club officially started as the Parkdale Canoe Club, setting in motion the hundred plus years of history, activity and memories. The Club moved to its current location at 1491 Lakeshore Boulevard West only a few years later. There have been four fires that devastated the Club, a Great Depression and Two World Wars. Nothing has been able to stop the Boulevard Club in its pursuit of fun, fellowship and sportsmanship.

Today, the emphasis is on family activity as The Boulevard Club continues to keep pace with the dynamic of the world around us. The Club is a modern and vibrant organization offering swimming, tennis, fitness, group lessons and private, badminton, fencing, karate, boating - power and sail, and a full range of lakefront activities including stand-up paddle boarding, rowing, dragon boating and canoeing.
