History:
Formed in July 14, 1979,
the Horseshoe Canada Association is the
governing body of the sport in Canada. The
association organizes national championships
annually. Horseshoe Canada is a product
of a long evolution of governing bodies
of the sport in Canada. According to Horseshoe
Canada, there were indications that the
sport has been around the country since
the 18th century, while organizations at
the local, provincial, and national levels
were formed as early as the 1920s. In fact,
the first Canadian horseshoe organization
was formed in November 1929, under the name
Dominion of Canada Horseshoe Pitchers Association.
The organization’s name was then changed
to Dominion Horseshoe Pitchers Association
in 1949-1952; then to Canadian Horseshoe
Pitchers Association in 1953; then to Canadian
National Horseshoe Association in November
1966; and Canadian National Horseshoe Players
Association in 1967. Finally, in 1979, a
landmark meeting was held among the association
officers which resulted in renaming the
association to what it is known today –
the Horseshoe Canada Association. The meeting
also resulted in the adoption of an enduring
Constitution and by-laws.
