South Niagara Rowing Club

In 1976, a small group of interested citizens from the cities Welland and Port Colborne in the Region of Niagara embarked on establishing the South Niagara Rowing Club. The South Niagara Rowing Club was established along the banks of the Old Welland Canal, which was no longer being used for shipping. The area had the potential of being a wonderful rowing facility and great race course due to the high banks, which shelters the waterway from wind. After much work and cooperation from all levels of government and the donations of many businesses, the dream became a reality.  Presently, the South Niagara Rowing Club is home to over 100 high school rowers, 50 competitive rowers, over 100 Bantam rowers, and the Adult Rowing League.
