Thursday May 1 was the first day of rowing on the Rideau Canal for this spring. This season, Elmwood, Glebe, Lisgar and Immaculata high schools will be rowing in our youth program with practices Monday to Friday between 3:30 and 6:00 p.m. at Dow's Lake. The rowing club will continue to offer 'learn to row' programs and maintain a fleet of racing shells for those who wish to row regularly up until Thanksgiving. There is a new coach from the Victoria City Rowing Club for this season. Todd Haines will be giving dockside demonstrations and will teach the 'learn to row,' and coach the adult masters programs. For those who have never rowed and might find the sport a little intimidating let it be known we have a fleet of stable, flat bottomed beginners boats that cannot tip and still provide all the same benefits. When you are out on your stroll around the lake come BYTOWN BOAT CLUB 4 in and say, "Hi; I want to give rowing a try."
