Welcome to the 2020 summer Rowing season - the COVID-19 EDITION!
The COVID-19 coronavirus affects everything including rowing!
However, summer has almost arrived and OSRC is making preparations for the 2020 rowing season!
Unfortunately, the current State of Emergency does NOT permit OSRC to offer Learn to Row (LTR) program at this time.
However, as of May 16, 2020, Ontario does permit ‘Boat Clubs’ to operate with limitations.
Following completion of RowCanada’s Risk Assessment tool, OSRC is preparing to open for recreational members ONLY (instruction and specifically Learn to Row or LTR is NOT sanctioned at this time).
OSRC is developing a COVID-19 Code of Conduct, strict cleaning and sanitizing protocols, individual dedicated equipment (oars, life jacket, throw rope, cleaning bucket etc.), to hopefully enable members to row single (1x) sculls and doubles (2x) sculls (for members within the same household).
Restrictions will be in place for vulnerable members (i.e. older than 65 years old, Immunocompromised etc.).
Only rowers from within Grey and Bruce Counties will be permitted. To reduce the risk of infection, no outside visitors will be allowed.
2020 will be a challenging year for OSRC and thus your membership or donation would be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions or comments over the coming weeks do not hesitate to send a quick message through our Contact form or email: osrowing@gmail.com
**Keep checking back here, Facebook or Twitter for any new info.
Ever hopeful, we have postponed the June 1-6, 2020 OSRC LTR Training Session till July 6-12, 2020
LOCATION: Owen Sound Rowing Club Clubhouse, North Parking lot of Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre
