Charles Edmond ‘Mort’ Mortureux (25 September 1876 – 8 February 1947) was born in Bordeaux, France, and emigrated to Canada about 1899.〔1901 Census, Ontario, Ottawa, Central Ward, B-2, p.7, line 8.〕 After graduating from the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, he joined the Canadian Department of Agriculture where he served for 25 years as chief translator. He was a leading figue in canoeing and skiing in and around Ottawa, Ontario, for 30 years.〔Ottawa Citizen, 8 February 1947, “C.E. Mortureux, Famous Ottawa Skier is Dead.”〕

Mortureux was Captain of the Ottawa New Edinburgh Canoe Club from 1916 to 1922, President of the Club House Company (which built the new clubhouse in 1923) from 1922 to 1925, and Commodore of the club from 1925 until 1946.〔C.E.

Mortureux, Famous Ottawa Skier is Dead.”〕 While he led the club in the 1920s, it was a major power in Canadian paddling, winning the Canadian Canoeing Association Birks Cup for the half mile war canoe race three times and the Perney-Tubman Challenge Trophy for the war canoe half mile race in the Northern Division four times.〔C. Fred Johnston, 100 Years of Champions - The Canadian Canoe Association 1900–2000.
