THANK YOU!
    We hope this issue of Canadian Sailings finds our readers and advertisers all
    well and safe during these challenging times. We are all in this together and to-
    gether we will succeed in overcoming COVID-19.

    On behalf of the Grunt Club and Canadian Sailings Magazine, we want to thank
    our loyal readers and advertisers for their participation in this special issue
    “A Tribute to the Grunt Club”.

    As a result of the pandemic, it has been a difficult year for the Grunt Club ne-
    cessitating the cancellation of many events including the annual dinner held for
    over 80 years every December in Montreal. All of these events are important
    fund raisers to help finance the Grunt Club’s Good works: donations to
    Mariners’ House of Montreal, Montreal Children’s Hospital, Hôpital Sainte-
    Justine and bursaries given annually to the Institut maritime du Québec.

    This issue is all about the Grunt Club, who they are, how and why they were
    founded and their mission. We hope you will enjoy reading it.

    All of the advertisers in this issue are indirectly giving their financial support by
    advertising in this issue. Canadian Sailings will be donating a percentage of all
    the advertising dollars back to the Grunt Club to assist with their Good Works.

    A special thanks to the Grunt Club’s Archivist, Stephen Wray, a Grunt Club
    Past President, for his invaluable assistance in sourcing the historical pho-
    tographs and sharing his knowledge of the history of the club with us.

    Wishing everyone a safe Holiday Season and a better new year in 2021.

    Canadian Sailings will be back in the new year with a “Tribute to the Toronto
    Marine Club, as well as our first regular issue of the year in February.

    We’re looking forward to having all of you back as readers and advertisers.

An Interview with Grunt Club
President Jeffrey Fisher                                              By Brian Dunn

                         It was a slam dunk that current Grunt Club president Jeffrey
                         Fisher became a club member about 15 years ago. After all,
                         his father was a past president and he got to know the club
                         through its various activities, including its annual picnic and
                         golf tournament.
                   The Grunt Club’s primary objective is to promote the maritime
             industry in general and the best interests of the Port of Montreal in par-
             ticular, through the spirit of fellowship among those associated with the
             maritime community.
                    “The club represents a fun atmosphere and it’s a good way to meet
             new people,” explained Mr. Fisher who is also President and CEO of Trans-
             modal Marketing, a company started by his father in 1980 that buys and
             sells new and used shipping containers that are mostly modified for stor-
             age. “I’ve made some good friends at the club. In fact, I met one of my best
             friends, Jason Tock, at the club, who is also the club’s first vice-president.”

An Interview with Past President
Theodore Blaize                                                      By Brian Dunn

                             Theodore Blaize fondly remembers being hoodwinked
                             into joining the Grunt Club in 1979, but he didn’t mind.
                               “A group of us were at the Baldaquin restaurant in Old
                               Montreal where a lot of people in the shipping industry
                               congregated to chat and enjoy each other’s company,” re-
              called Mr. Blaize who wears two hats. In addition to being Vice-President
              Operations, Conterm, a division of Kenmont Terminals, he is also Hon-
              orary Counsel for Granada in Montreal, his home country.
                    “I met Steve Fisher at Baldaquin (past president of the club and fa-
              ther of current president Jeffrey Fisher) and he told met to sign a docu-
              ment he put in front of me and asked for $20. I asked why and he told
              me not to worry and to just sign the document which I did and suddenly
              I was a member of the Grunt Club. I have no regrets. I moved here in
              1977 and hardly knew anyone and the Grunt Club became part of my
              family and still is.”

An Interview with Theresa Cardinal,
First Female President                                                                    By Brian Dunn

                                            As the first female president of the Grunt Club in 2010,
                                            Theresa Cardinal offers a different perspective of the inner
                                            workings of the storied institution. Interestingly enough, her
                                            thoughts and ideas of how to change things to attract new
                                            members, don’t waver much from the norm, except in one
                                            case - the annual dinner which some would like to see
                               tweaked and become less formal.
                                     “I actually enjoy the annual dinner the way it is. All the other events
                               are casual, so it’s nice to dress up. I think it also enhances the club’s repu-
                               tation. I admit there is some repetition in the speeches, but overall, it’s a nice
                               change from other events.”
                                     Ms. Cardinal joined the club around 2000 after she was approached
                               to chair the curling event, when she wasn’t actually a member, so she joined.
                               She became a director in 2003. And like other directors, Ms. Cardinal has
                               pretty much chaired all club events and each director “moves up the latter”

26   Canadian Sailings • December 7, 2020
The history of The Grunt Club dates back to the early
                                       1930’s when a small number of marine-oriented men de-
                                         cided to form a nautical organization primarily to foster
                                           the spirit of good fellowship throughout the industry in
                                            the Port of Montreal. The name of the Club was al-
                                             legedly derived from the grunts and groans which bel-
                                             lowed out from the group in response to the
                                             suggestions offered by each in attendance. The late
                                             Barney Bolan was elected the first President and from
                                            those humble beginnings The Grunt Club has grown
                                          to over 350 members – all associated in some way with
                                        water transportation
                                      and who can meet in
                                    an atmosphere of
                               friendship and congeniality.

     The Club held its first general meeting at the Queen’s
Hotel on February 2nd, 1934.Those present at that meeting
voted unanimously to incorporate The Club under the laws
of the Province of Quebec and to secure the necessary
charter – the appropriate action being taken by a commit-
tee consisting of members who had arranged the group’s
early functions.

                                         Since that time
                                    The Grunt Club has
                                    become exceedingly
                                    well known to most
                                    people concerned with
                                    shipping. An ever pop-
                                    ular Annual Dinner is
                                    held each December
                                    at which approximately
                                    1,350 members and              Barney Bolan
                                    friends attend from all
                                    parts of Canada, the
                                    United States and even overseas. During the year The Club
                                    organizes golf tournaments, a picnic, a children’s Christmas
                                    party, a curling bonspiel and a Mariners’ House of Montreal
                                    Benefit Luncheon. The Club regularly donates to Mariners’
  Queen’s Hotel                     House of Montreal, Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation
                                    and Hôpital Sainte-Justine. As well, three bursaries per year
                                    are given to L’ Institut maritime du Québec à Rimouski.

64 Glorious Years

                  Grunt Club Past President, Stewart Cummings (left) with 1995
                  President Joe Dawson at the 2018 Grunt Club Annual Dinner.
                 Mr. Cummings first attended the annual dinner in 1955 at the
              Mount Royal Hotel then later at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel and more
                recently at the present venue in the Hilton Bonaventure hotel.
                  Mr. Cummings has accumulated many wonderful memories of
               Grunt Club activities over the years and commends the Grunt Club
                  for its continuing financial support for deserving recipients,
                  particularly The Mariners’ House of Montreal of which Mr.
                               Cummings is also a Past President.

The Grunt Club’s support of various
institutions is well known. This support
has generally been in the form of annual
donations and this year is no exception.

Our long-standing relationship with the
Mariners’ House, who is our largest
recipient, to date, has received funds well
in excess of $390,000 from the club.

For the past 23 years, we are proud and
fortunate enough to be able to donate
funds, in the form of annual bursaries, to
the Institut maritime du Québec à
Rimouski.

Additionally, with the continuous support
of our membership at the various events
throughout the year, we have been able to
add both of the children’s hospitals to our
list of beneficiaries.

The Montreal Children’s Hospital and
l’Hôpital Sainte-Justine have both received
donations in upwards of $20,000 each
over the past nine to ten years.

The Board of Directors of the Grunt Club is
pleased to assist these selected
recipients in this noble fashion and will
continue to do so with the response from
our generous members.

                                  1976 Grunt Club Do‐

       nates” . Lets retitle this page to “The Grunt
       Club’s Good Works”. I will ask Jeffrey to update
       the numbers. We should use the logos of the
       organizations receiving the donations, but in a
       more creative fashion than just putting them on
       the bottom of the page, as in the Grunt.
