July 4th, 2024

Ottawa Rowing Club

Upcoming: Henley Send-Off Party

The upcoming Henley Send-off party will be help on Tuesday July 23rd 5:30 PM in the ABB!

This send-off will be held in the form of a potluck! Please refer to the link below for the sign up spreadsheet regarding the potluck.

Important: Parking lot closed for July

The club has just been made aware that the club will be losing access to our parking lot for 4 weeks starting on July 7th for some of the required construction work.

This will mean that for Morning Practices rowers won't be able to park on-site, they will need to park on the nearby free parking in the market. I've attached a map outlining the spots nearest the clubhouse.

For Evening Practices ORC members will be able to use the construction workers parking lot on the right-hand side just as you turn off Sussex onto Lady Grey Drive. Construction employees are expected to be off-site by 4:30 PM. Overflow parking will be available adjacent to the driveway area in the upper parking lot as well in the market. I've outlined both of these areas on the map as well.

Upcoming: ORC Summer Blockbuster

The ORC will be postponing the Summer Blockbuster. As well, the new movie for the upcoming date will be Jaws!

The new tentative date will either be August 11th or the 25th. This date will be confirmed in the near future.

Keep an eye out for more updates coming soon!
