The February 2022 issue of the Kitchissippi Times includes an article I wrote on the history of the St. Hubert's Gun Club, which had developed in central Ottawa in the late 1800s, but eventually found a long-time home within Westboro more or less from 1901 to 1939.
Gun clubs were extremely popular in the early 1900s, and not only was the St. Hubert's Club successful in Ottawa, but in fact was one of the top North American clubs with some of the continent's best shooters; many of whom lived in Kitchissippi.
