Leander Boat Club (Canada) Leander Boat Club (LBC) is a community Rowing club on the south shore of Hamilton Harbour (alternatively Burlington Bay) in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Rowing has a long history in Hamilton with races attested from the mid 1800s and formal clubs operating from the latter half of that century such as the Hamilton Rowing Club, that shuttered its doors as the bicycle craze took off around the turn of the century. The current club was established by the issue of letters patent by the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario dated 28th May, 1927.
Oslo Oslo ( , , ] ] ] ) is the capital and the most populous city in Norway. It constitutes both a county and a municipality. Founded in the year 1040, and established as a "kaupstad" or trading place in 1048 by Harald Hardrada, the city was elevated to a bishopric in 1070 and a capital under Haakon V of Norway around 1300. Personal unions with Denmark from 1397 to 1523 and again from 1536 to 1814 and with Sweden from 1814 to 1905 reduced its influence. After being destroyed by a fire in 1624, during the reign of King Christian IV, the city was moved closer to Akershus Fortress and renamed Christiania in the king's honour. It was established as a municipality ("formannskapsdistrikt") on 1 January 1838. Following a spelling reform, it was known as Kristiania from 1877 until 1925, in which year its original Norwegian name of Oslo was restored.
