Message from Terry Dillon, Chief Executive Officer of Rowing Canada:

“Clubs are concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on our mid-sized clubs. We believe many of our larger clubs have the capacity to get the support they need but our mid-sized clubs are dealing with many of the same risks but don’t have the same support. The purpose of this tool is to support these clubs to consider the risks to their ongoing operations and recovery given the extraordinary conditions created by the COVID-19 pandemic. The tool focuses on the areas that club leadership should be considering as they seek to maintain the integrity of their club both operationally and as a business, and what choices they should be considering in determining how best to navigate the specific risks to their current situation and in service of ongoing organizational sustainability. This tool touches on, but does not fully address, the specific health and safety practices associated with managing COVID-19.”
