Rowing Glossary
As in all communities, there are lots of magic words that rowers use. Some of them make intuitive sense, and some can be a bit mysterious!

On any given day one can find many types of small boats in the Gorge Waterway. What sorts do we use?
Safe Sport
"Sport organizations in British Columbia are committed to creating a sport environment that is accessible, inclusive, respects their participants’ personal goals, and is free from all forms of maltreatment. Rowing BC is firmly committed to the principles of Safe Sport, and fostering a culture where everyone can thrive, and where sport is safe for everyone."
Safety on the Water
Safety is a priority at Gorge Narrows Rowing Club. The Gorge Waterway, where we row, is used by many different people and organizations. There is commercial traffic, taxis, recreational boaters, other clubs, and swimmers. Both on and off the water, here are some of the ways we keep everyone safe.
Support the Club
Our members and friends play a vital role in ensuring the long-term success and growth of our rowing community. Support comes in many forms including volunteering, corporate sponsorship, in-kind donations, and direct financial contributions.
