BRC Volunteer Hours
The Barrie Rowing Club is a non-profit organization that have been established by the vision of community members that saw the opportunity for youth to row on the beautiful waters of Kempenfelt Bay. The current club programs, facilities, and equipment were developed by many dedicated volunteers since 1987. We are grateful for the contributions of past and present club members who volunteer their time and skills in a variety of forms to ensure the future opportunities of community members of all ages and levels of experience to row on land and on the water. All BRC members who row on the water in the summer are encouraged to volunteer their time and skills to continue to build the Barrie Rowing Club programs, facilities, funding opportunities, and coaching for youth programs. BRC members can consider how they can contribute to club through volunteer hours and the following suggested tasks:
