All participants will need to complete a Rowing Canada registration and request to be members at their club. This can be done THROUGH THIS LINK. I have attached an instruction document if there are any issues trying to register (portion 2 dealing with Amilia is not necessary). Everyone can disregard the portion mentioning the $37 fee as it is sponsored by Montreal Rowing Club
