Club Information

The Cambridge Rowing Club was formed in 1987 by a group of
enthusiastic citizens who had a vision of a community-based club
promoting the sport of rowing.
The Club was given permission by the City of
Cambridge to use
an existing wooden garage at the Riverbluffs Park as their clubhouse
and storage facility. Rapid expansion during the first two years
resulted in the contribution of a tractor-trailer by Koch Transport
of Kitchener
to accomodate the additional rowing shells purchased by the Club.
The Club continues to have a rapidly expanding membership drawn not
only from Cambridge, but from the surrounding communities of Kitchener
/ Waterloo, Guelph and Brantford.
Programs include Learn to
Row, Highschool, Recreational and Competitive. The Club can offer
services to everyone from the novice rower,
to those eager to race at
the many regattas held at various clubs from May
through to November.
The CRC and the sport of rowing cater to people of all ages, and
both men and women equally. Members speak highly of the many
physical, mental and social benefits of participation in the
sport. Visiting rowers have many times commented that our stretch
of water at the Riverbluffs is one of the finest and most picturesque
rowing courses in Ontario.
Our members have competed successfully in many of the sport's top Regattas. CRC members regularly race at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta, the Canadian Open Masters Rowing Championships, and have been known to show both at the U.S. Masters Nationals and World Masters Championships. Come show your stuff and help the rowing community learn that Cambridge Rowing Club members can put it down!
In 2005 an expanded storage facility was constructed on the same premises at Riverbluffs Park. The fundraising came from a successful Capital Fundraising Campaign at the Club and funds from the City of Cambridge. Our clubhouse is named The Bruce Holliday Boathouse after the fouding member, local veterinary doctor, Bruce Holliday.
As the club has grown, High School and Youth Rowing have become one
of the Club's major thrusts. Through rowing, the development of
core life skills such as dedication, leadership and co-operation happen
in a positive and constructive environment.
Come be a part of the sport whose tradition and ongoing history will enrich your life!
