“National Come Try Rowing Day was an absolute success this weekend at the Ottawa Rowing Club! We were thrilled to welcome participants ranging from 12 to 79, with both absolute beginners and previous Olympians amongst the group, demonstrating interest in all of the programs offered. The event brought our whole club community together, as coaches and rowers alike stepped up to help create a positive experience for all. The plethora of individuals, from all different walks of life, attended the event and are now eager to join (or return to!) the sport. This stands as a testament to the growing diversity of rowing and it’s really uplifting to see.”

“We are honoured to be a ParticipACTION Community Challenge grant recipient for our Special Olympics Rowing Program this summer. This program marks the first time that rowing has ever been a Special Olympics sport in Canada, and support for inclusive sport and physical activity initiatives and programs can have an incredibly positive impact throughout Canada and beyond. We can’t wait to see this program grow and we hope other rowing clubs will feel encouraged to develop Special Olympics programs of their own!”
