Clubs make rowing happen!
Without clubs to recruit new people to rowing and provide equipment and facilities for rowers, our sport would be in poor shape.

This page supports the volunteers who run our member clubs by providing information on some important behind-the-scenes administrative aspects.

Tips For Building A High School Rowing Program

Clubs Helping Clubs

As you get ready for the new season, please have a look around your boathouse for equipment you don't need anymore. Can you pass it on? Sell it at a price a new club can afford?

I know that at least one new club will be on the water this year, The Bruce Peninsula RC. We spend a lot of time talking about "growing" our sport. Here's an opportunity for your club to help. Any assistance you could give new clubs as they are in their infancy would help us meet out goals.

Please email Jessica (admin@rowontario.ca) with a list of equipment you are able to offer.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Regards,

Catherine Barney
