RCA and RO Memberships

What is RCA and RO and why do I need to pay for an annual membership?

Rowing Canada: Leading the Way

Rowing Canada Aviron is dedicated to fostering excellence in rowing across the nation. With a mission to inspire and enable Canadians to achieve success from grassroots to high-performance levels, Rowing Canada offers a variety of programs that support athletes, coaches, and clubs. Through initiatives like the National Team Program and community outreach, Rowing Canada plays a pivotal role in advancing the sport and making a significant impact on the international stage.

Why do I need a membership?

Rowing Canada provides ORC and rowing as a whole with an identity on an international stage. This requires support from RCA in funding, liability coverage, and many other avenues that we rely on for operation.

All of ORC’s members must be RCA members, so we collect your membership fees on behalf of RCA.
