COVID-19 Statement for Ontario
All clubs should be aware of this statement from CKO Sprint as of March 30, 2020: Since the government of Ontario has mandated that non-essential businesses should be closed, any liability or accident insurance that is in place for clubs (either through CKO or an additional recreational policy) will not apply if an accident occurs during an activity that is undertaken using club property or facility. This includes on water training and dry land training using a club facility or personnel. Training programs conducted via the internet or other social media that follow the social distancing guidelines recommended by the Ontario Board of Health have been added to our list of sanctioned activities. |

January 29 is Bevin & LA Schmidt Day!
Congratulations to LA and Bevin Schmidt, co-founders of the Ottawa River Canoe Club, who were awarded the Mayor's Cup by Mayor Jim Watson at this year's Ottawa Sports Awards on January 29, 2020. In addition, January 29th will forever be known as LA and Bevin Schmidt Day in the City of Ottawa! The Schmidt's are receiving the award for their commitment to advancing sport at the local, national and international level. It is also a reflection of the amount of work they have done and how they have become "outstanding representatives" of Ottawa's Sport Community. In addition to all the officiating, coaching, organizing - plus being parents of elite athletes - and so many other roles, Bevin is the past Flag Officer of the Eastern Ontario Division and LA is currently Chairperson of the Sprint Racing Council. They are amazing people who have contributed so much to canoe kayak at all levels. Read the full news story here in the West Carleton Community Voice (scroll to page 14-15).
