New this year, parents of athletes in the Comp and Comp Dev programs are required to complete 20 volunteer hours per athlete per year to support ORCC programs and regattas.

We understand that everyone has busy lives, but ORCC cannot operate without the help of volunteers. Your support is essential to ensuring successful events and a strong paddling community.

Volunteer Hours Breakdown:
✅ Regatta Support:

• At least one shift per athlete at either the Eastern Ontario Divisional Qualifiers or Eastern Ontario Divisional Championships (whichever regatta your athlete competes in).
• At least one shift per athlete at the Ontario Championships or Ontario Team Trials (when held in Ottawa).
• One shift at our home regatta, the Ottawa River Paddle Challenge.

✅ Other Ways to Contribute:

• Assisting at a recruitment event
• Helping with club facility maintenance
• Serving on the board, executive, or a committee

Your time and effort help make ORCC a great place for our athletes to train and compete. Thank you for your support! 🚣‍♂️
