Welcome to the False Creek Rowing Club. We are a member club in good standing of Rowing BC and Rowing Canada Aviron.
The font size for text on this web site can be changed using the icons (“AA”) on the top right hand corner of the page.
At the present time we are working with the City of Vancouver and the Vancouver Parks Board to create a rowing community in Vancouver’s False Creek. This will offer rowing programs out of the East end of False Creek. Here we hope to offer programming to participants from the general community, secondary and post-secondary schools. This will be dependent of the construction of docks and related facilities which are subject to a number of discussions, primarily related to funding and the use of Community Amenity Credits paid by the developers of property around the False Creek North neighbourhood.
We do not have a timeline at present as to when we will be able to offer programming within False Creek, but as that becomes available, we will post it. Without a boathouse, our options are negligible.
For more details on rowing opportunities in Vancouver and its nearby municipalities, please see the About us page.
We would like to thank the organizers of the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival who have been working for many years to create a boathouse to offer paddling programs in the False Creek in the area beside Creekside Park. Their willingness to work with our organization to benefit of both our sports is greatly appreciated.
REGATTA 2012!
We are pleased to host the second ”Head Up The Creek” rowing regatta on Sunday March 18th, 2012. Please see the tab above for details. Note that this is one week later than the comparable event last year as the tides are more favourable this way.
This will be our home body of water:
The False Creek Rowing Club would like to recognize the financial assistance of RBC Royal Bank through the RBC Foundation for the support they give to their employees who volunteer in their communities.
