Ontario Umpires Appointed to National Regattas
Rowing Canada Aviron and the RCA Umpires Committee recently announced the appointment of umpires for 2022 National Regattas.
The nomination process for the juries began with the RCA Umpires Committee asking the Provincial Rowing Associations to distribute the application forms to all the licensed umpires in their province, to pre-select and rank the umpires in their respective provinces who applied and submit their names to the RCA National Juries Sub-Committee.
