NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
RCC Parking Lot Construction - June 24-28
The RCC parking lot is under construction from June 24-28. While the repairs are going on, parking at the Canoe Club is even more limited. Please plan ahead of your practice or scheduled session and use one of the alternate parking locations. With the limited space due to construction, even drop-offs can be tricky and a safer option will be to park at one of the alternate parking locations and walk to the Canoe Club.
COMING UP! TRAINING FOR REGATTA OFFICIALS POSITIONS!
Regatta season is upon us, and we need your help. Regattas are entirely run by volunteers, including the race officials - on-water referees, on land race timers, boat weighing, race starters. These volunteer jobs are fun, help you get to know the sport, and are essential to run the regattas. Rideau Canoe Club will be hosting two evenings of Officials Training next week - all clubs are welcome! Tuesday July 2 (Level 1/Level 2) - 6:30-8pm & Wednesday July 3 (Level 3) - Start time 6:30-8pm. The training will be run by Andre Berube, chief official for Eastern Ontario Division. Please email Andre - [email protected] to confirm that you will be attending.
