Canadian men's rowing at Guelph Lake Park

The Canadian National Men’s Rowing Team will be using Guelph Lake for a training camp this summer as it prepares for an Olympic qualifying event.

That means other boaters will have to take care as they travel around the lake.

The team will be at Guelph Lake Park from July 24 to Aug. 14 as they prepare for the Olympic qualifying regatta in France.

While the team is at Guelph Lake, they will be holding two or three practice sessions a day in a special course set aside for their use. The practices will usually be held at 7am, 11am and 3:30pm. In addition, the team may also row in other parts of the lake.

As a safety precaution during practice times, other boaters are asked to avoid entering or crossing through the race course to avoid interfering with the rowing shells.

The training camp is being hosted by the Guelph Rowing Club, which has its home base at Guelph Lake.

Guelph Lake is a popular place for canoeing, kayaking and sailing.
