FINAL RESULTS - posted April 29th 3:05PM

Thank you and congratulations to everyone who raced today!  The snow this morning was a bit of a cold start, but the umpires, volunteers, spectators and especially the athletes were AWESOME -- the event was competitive (judging by the results!) and fun, with a great community vibe.  What a great start to the season, and to the first year of the Trillium Chase.

Just a reminder that gold medals will be awarded in each category to the athlete(s) who wins the most points overall throughout the season.  As well, ROWONTARIO will co-award the inaugaral Trillium Cup trophy to the male and female sculler who wins the most points overall, regardless of category. 

The next Challenge in the ROWONTARIO Trillium Chase 1x Challenge Series is the Jack Nicholson Head of the Martindale Regatta in St. Catharines, ON.  Register now! Everyone who races will be included in the Trillium Chase points calculations, so it is definitely NOT too late Challenge the Chase!

Bulletin #3 - Posted April 27th 2:00PM

Please review the following maps carefully in preparation for Sunday's races! 

Please also review the Dock Flow Pattern as well.  Crews will LAUNCH from the Mississauga Canoe Club docks (just next door to the DRC) and will RETURN to the Don Rowing Club docks.  Please note: Rowers will not be permitted to row back to the docks until the entire division has passed the finish line (to prevent the risk of head-on collision).  Similarly, rowers will not be permitted to launch until the entire previous division has passed the DRC docks.  

The Don Rowing Club has graciously offered their 24 ergs to use for warm-up. 

Please come prepared for the weather and water conditions!  Dress in appropriate layers and plan your warm-up/cool-down strategies in advance!
