Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA) has partnered with Maple Bay Rowing Club, with support from Rowing BC, for the second consecutive year to welcome the nation’s rowing community to the traditional ancestral territories of Coast Salish First Nations at the picturesque Quamichan Lake in North Cowichan, British Columbia.

Right of Entry

An athlete entering the NRC Regatta is required to be registered with RCA through an RCA Club prior to an entry being made for the athlete. Exceptions for individuals registered with a USRowing organization may be considered to make up 50% of a pair (2-) entry and must be approved by the RCA High Performance Director prior to entering an event.

If the RCA Club listed during the entry process does not correspond with the RCA database at the time entries are verified, the RCA Club and Provincial Rowing Associations (PRA) in the database will be used to create the regatta draw and any subsequent race progressions or results.

Athletes must represent their PRA if they (1) receive Sport Canada AAP support; (2) receive Provincial funding of any kind, either direct or indirect; or (3) qualify through any published selection criteria defined by the athlete’s respective PRA. Any other entry may be entered by a Club. The RCA High Performance Director will provide a roster of AAP athletes to affiliated PRAs a week prior to the NRC Regatta entry deadline.

Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport (UCCMS) Consent Forms

All athletes, coaches and umpires are expected to complete the form before arriving at the venue. No individual individuals in these roles will be able to compete, coach or umpire at the 2023 National Rowing Championships until this form has been completed.
