The Burnstown Rowing Club is a recreational rowing club based out of Burnstown, Ontario (between Arnprior and Renfrew). Members range in age from mid-teens to senior.
New members must take the Learn-to-Row class before becoming a full-fledged member. Membership gives you access to the club boathouse, where the club stores training singles, along with single and double sculls for various weight ranges. Boats are booked through an online booking system.

To Register for the 2025 summer session please send an email to rowingburnstown@gmail.com
All application forms will be sent by Docusign to all members. Once you have filled out those forms, you can register with Rowing Canada by following the instructions below:
Note: All new members, learn to row, and pre-existing rowers as well as coaches and executive members have to register through the Row Canada website in addition to filling out our Docusign application form that was emailed you.
The Process is as follows:
- Login into Rowing Canada REGISTER/JOIN
- For rowers choose – JOIN A PROGRAM
For Executive and or Coaches choose – ROLES
- Choose Province
- Choose Organization (Burnstown Rowing Club)
- Choose which category, either learn to row, recreational (this should be rower) or student
Log in or Create an Account. Most previously registered rowers probably have an account at Rowing Canada but assume you don’t.
As you go through the process of making one, the system might say that you already have a registration number (write it down somewhere for next year).
After this, there are a few spots where you are asked to tick a box that you AGREE to waive your concerns, etc. (eventually you will be finished).
Rowing Canada will let Sue know that you are registered, and THE CLUB will be billed for your Rowing Canada/Row Ontario fees. You then pay your fees to Sue by e-transfer at burnstownfinance@gmail.com and you are on the water.
