Vernon Rowing and Dragon Boat Club is a registered non-profit society. Offering the largest rowing program in the Interior and well established dragon boat programs we are proud to be offering sport to all ages and abilities.
Since 1997 GO Rowing & Paddling Association of Canada (GO) provided all equipment and operated community based rowing and paddling programs and events in Vernon at Swan Lake. GO was a non-profit Amateur Athletic Association, and registered charity, dedicated to sharing the benefits of sport with Canadians of all ages and athletic abilities. Concentrating on rowing & paddling sports, GO encouraged participation, personal challenge and the pursuit of excellence from the grass-roots to the Olympic podium. GO provided access to sport by offering programs that encouraged broad participation, by producing dynamic community events and by developing new and expanded facilities.
In 2014, GO donated all equipment including rowing shells, dragon boats, coach boats, docks and more to the newly formed Vernon Rowing and Dragon Boat Club, to continue to share the benefits of rowing and paddling sports in Vernon.
