Ottawa Rowing Club Newsletter

We are excited to announce the unveiling of the New logo for the Ottawa Rowing Club! The Club now has a modernized look while still harkening back to the long history of the ORC via its colours and design decisions.
We understand that many enjoy the classic look of the ORC which holds much sentimental value for many, being the oldest rowing club in Canada. We certainly aren’t leaving or forgetting the old logo, but we see this as a great opportunity to modernize the Club and give it a fresh new look. We hope that you enjoy it and wear it proudly in our clothing and other merchandise that is soon to come. You can read all about the new Logo below!

With that, we have also updated the look of our newsletter, sporting our red and blue colours and designs. Once again, we hope you like the new look! Continue reading for the latest ORC news. |

ORC Canada Day BBQ Recap! |

Last week, the Senior men organized the Canada Day BBQ at the ORC! Over 100 people attended and we hope that everyone who came out had a wonderful time! From food orders, to the raffle, we were able to raise $350 for the gym, and we can’t wait to put it to good use for our members!
Special thanks to Brendan Edge, and the senior men for organizing the event, as well as Regatta Sport, Zak's Diner, Kichesippi Beer Company, and iDeal Coffee for sponsoring it!

Tuesday Yoga continues at the ORC! Come to the Andy Binda Boathouse every Tuesday in July for Yoga sessions hosted by Laura D'Alessandro.
At the ORC sessions, you can expect an accessible, all-levels Hatha Vinyasa class that focuses on areas of the body that should be opened and strengthened for rowing. Sessions take place every Tuesday in July, and are from 6-7pm in the Andy Binda Boathouse. Please bring your own Yoga Mat. You definitely don’t want to miss it!

We have AED on site. In case of an emergency, it can be found inside the Boathouse between bay 1 and 2. People using it should be first aid certified and trained in its use. In the event that someone is not trained, when you turn it on, it will have instructions on how to use it.
While we hope this will never be used, we have it at the Club to ensure we are prepared for possible emergencies. Once gain, it is located inside the Boathouse between bays 1 and 2.
Thanks to VP Competitive Jennifer Jones and Christina Fernadez for all your help in getting an AED installed!
