The first official Canadian championships (singles) were held in 1929. They were held in conjunction with the Royal Winter Fair at the Toronto CNE until 1938. In 1940 and from 1949 though 1969, they were held during the Canadian National Exhibition around Labour Day week-end in Toronto. There is one exception (1960) where Hamilton hosted the tournament.
Here are the Men's champions through the years.
