First time rowing with SCRC?

New athletes need a Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA) account before their first session. Set one up at membership.rowingcanada.org — it takes 5 minutes. The one-time $76.50 RCA + Row Ontario fee runs April 1 through March 31 the following year (not 12 months from your registration date), so a new fee applies each March 31.
