Greetings from West Side Rowing Club!

Please forward this information along to all athletes, coaches, and spectators.

JB 18 Time Trial draw and the final schedule are found on RC (Heat Sheet/Draw). Please let me know if there are errors. All boats are going through time trials.  All finals are four boat finals.

Coaches Coxswains Meeting 8:00am in the WS Boardroom and the first race is at 9:00am.

LTWT Weigh In 7:00am- 9:00am

Boat Trailers. It is preferred and extremely recommended to have trailers arrive on Saturday to avoid traffic the next day. If you are able to drop it off Saturday please email me with an ETA. On Sunday earlier is better.

Canadians, keep in mind the Peace Bridge is down to one lane of traffic. Also, there usually are fewer guards in the AM. This could be problematic for both your boat trailer and athlete arrival. Please plan accordingly. To get to the boathouse from the Peace Bridge you now need to travel South on the 190, take the first exit to Niagara Street, turn left (north) on to Niagara Street, and then left on Porter Ave.

Parent Trailers and Team Tents are extremely encouraged to arrive and set up on Saturday. Sunday there are no parent trailers allowed in the lot. Items will have to be carried in by hand or on the shuttle bus. Parent trailers will be allowed on Rotary Row after 8:30am.

Security will be present Saturday PM and Sunday.

Parking is located at Front Park and La Salle Park. A shuttle bus will be driving around the locations. Links are provided here:

Spectating  will be viewed on the WS Lawn but I recommend telling parents and spectators to go on the new Observation Tower and bike path. From there the course is visible from start to finish. There is a lower path that is on the last 500 meters and an upper path that leads to the tower.  The path is accessible from Porter Ave and the view is great!

Cool Useful Map
