For a couple of later years, there are lists of club members in Ottawa (Gloucester), Ontario, Canada, Tax Assessment and Collector Rolls, available on Ancestry.
Interesting John.
The last time I was there, my boss was a member and they charged members for meals they did not eat unless they had charged enough. So we had our Christmas party there so he could claim so much income for the place against his own records But we all had to pay for our own meals, It felt like a rip off. Cheers, BT
Great list for people with deep roots in the Ottawa area… I found golf mentions for my dad in The Journal and The Citizen, but he never belonged to the Hunt.
