We hope that you have all been staying safe and doing as well as you can with the societal changes that have been in place to address to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the curve flattening, and the weather warming, we know a number of you are keen to get back on the water, and are wondering when rowing programs will resume.
We have a team of people working on the plan to resume rowing. As you can appreciate, doing this correctly, to protect everyone's safety, is not going to be fast or simple. We do not yet have a date to resume rowing programming, but will let you know as soon as we have an update.
Here are some of the challenges we are looking at:
- Rowing Canada has a new set of requirements which we will have to meet in order to regain our insurance coverage.
- Rowing BC has a new set of safety requirements.
- Old Mill Boathouse is closed following direction for the City of Port Moody. (OMB is a city owned building.)
- We have to examine WorkSafeBC's rules to ensure that our coaches and volunteers have a safe work environment.
- Both Rowing Canada & Rowing BC have said that erg practices should not be done.
Even though we are eager to get back out on the water, health & safety is paramount, and we would like to thank you for your patience during these unprecedented times. As soon as we have a meaningful updates, we will be in touch again.
