With pleasure, the Ottawa Rowing Club invites you to participate in the 44th annual Head of the Rideau Regatta. The Ottawa Rowing Club is Canada's oldest rowing club, founded in 1867, the year of Canada's confederation. The club's first president was Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.
The Head of the Rideau Regatta is held annually on the last Sunday of September, on the picturesque Rideau River, winding 5.3 kilometres through the heart of the City of Ottawa. The course begins at Black Rapids and finishes at the Rideau Canoe Club site at Hog's Back.
