Rowing needs Umpires!

Rowing Canada has made things super easy if you are interested in this important role. The Assistant Umpire Clinic is FREE, online and takes only 60-90 minutes to complete! Woohoo! You can even pause and resume the course at any time. If you are a coach, you will obtain one Professional Development point for taking the course. This is also a "must do" for athletes to learn all about the rules.

For more information, please go to https://rowingcanada.org/umpires/ and click on "Training and Education".

Last night, at the celebration dinner for the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, Leah Miller was awarded the prestigious Tom Longboat Award, “established in 1951, to recognize Aboriginal athletes for their outstanding contributions to sport in Canada”.
Leah has certainly done that this past year, but has been working hard towards her goals for many years. She started the season by winning the small boat trials for junior team selection West, to being selected for Team Canada, and getting to race at the Junior World Championships. She came home from Worlds and jumped into boats for the Canada Summer Games with team Manitoba. She had a great season. This award goes to one male and one female athlete across Canada each year.
Way to go Leah! 👏🏻👏🏻

Rianne Boekhorst took a learn to row and is now preparing to race at her first World Championships in Chechia.
She managed fitting in her daily training before and after work, while working full-time at the Royal Bank in Winnipeg. In October 2019, she made the move to the National Training Center in Ducan, BC.
Over the past few years, and through a global pandemic, she has been gaining speed and is ready to represent Canada in the Women’s Pair event this week. She is racing with pair partner Kristina Walker.
Good Luck Rianne!! We are cheering for you!

We couldn't be more excited or proud of our 2022 Canada Summer Games Team heading to Niagara in August. We are shining the spotlight on each and every member of our Team Toba!

Meet Iris Bjornson! Iris has been only rowing for 9 months and is already competing at her first Games! Iris is looking forward to the entire CSG experience, and representing Manitoba with her team.

With the sounds of it, Iris is hooked on rowing, "I love the teamwork it takes and the people on my team and the environment of the club. I like feeling the power I can put behind the blades."
