DRC Club History
The Don Rowing Club was established in 1878 by the Christie brothers, who owned a vacant house on the banks of the Don River (hence the Don in our club name). At the time, the “club” was no more than an informal and convenient place for the friends to meet for rowing and to store their equipment. After multiple boat house moves, Don Rowing Club came to rest at its current location in the then-town of Port Credit in 1960.
Don Rowing Club Facilities
The Don Rowing Club is proud to have a state-of-the-art indoor rowing tank, allowing for eight rowers to build technique in either sweep (one oar) or scull (two oars) sessions. 30 Concept2 row-ergs, 2 bike-ergs and 3 stationary bikes are available for training in our erg room. Both the tank and erg room are available to outside organizations to book for indoor practice, corporate events, or private lessons. Please email Membership to book a time.
