50 YEARS of ROWING 1973-2023
WHO WE ARE
We acknowledge that in Saskatchewan, our work takes place on Treaty 2,4,5,6, 8 & 10 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis. We pay our respect to the First Nations and Métis ancestors of this place and reaffirm our relationship with one another.
The Saskatchewan Rowing Association (SRA) was established in October of 1973. The goals of the SRA are to foster, coordinate, and encourage participation in the sport of rowing in this province. Why? Rowing brings out some of the best qualities of human nature. Qualities such as self discipline, responsibility, teamwork, and respect for others are just a few of the lessons learned from involvement in rowing. These values promote self confidence and self esteem and naturally influence the personal and professional life of any participant in this wonderful sport.
The SRA is the only governing body of rowing in the province recognized by the provincial government, SaskSport Inc. and Rowing Canada Aviron. The SRA is governed by a volunteer board of directors. Staffing includes a Director of Operations and coaching responsible for High Performance and Development across the province.
