London Western Rowing Club strives to become a sustainable facility that enables a diverse community of youth and adults to experience and excel in the sport of rowing.

The proceeds from this fundraising will be

How this project will assist in promoting
or developing amateur sport on a national

For 150 years, London has produced some of the finest rowers in Canada.
London Western Rowing Club offers programming to individuals of all ages and skill levels. Through this programming, several of our members have represented their city with distinction at local, regional, national, and international competitions.
After their successful careers we also see many athletes return home to the club that started it all, London Western Rowing Club. Many of these members train and compete in masters events and are part of our group that is active for life.
Through purchasing new equipment we can attract more members from the London community and produce a greater number of elite athletes and members that are active for life.
