Triple B “Threat” upstream: Bridge. Barge(s). Big Fat Buoy.
The barges may move so keep that in mind. Unfortunate for ORC. 😔

Ironman Canada in Ottawa on Sunday
In case you are not aware, Ottawa will be hosting it's first Full Ironman Canada event on Sunday. "The IRONMAN Canada-Ottawa event will start at 6 am with a 3.8-kilometre swim at Britannia Beach followed by a 180-kilometre bike ride through local neighbourhoods. It will wrap up with a 42.2-kilometre run around Parliament Hill. Participants have 17 hours to complete the event – a full day of adrenaline!"
There are a number of road closures, including Sir George Etienne Cartier Parkway.

As a former triathlete myself, who completed Half 70.3 Ironman races, this is a really big deal. These athletes have worked really really hard to get to this day and really need your understanding and support of these road closures, and they would not mind some cheering along the way too. 😀

The CSM is Aug 24th.......Volunteers needed
The 20th anniversary of the Canadian Sculling Marathon(CSM) will be held on Sunday, August 24, 2025. It’s a BIG year for ONEC - this will be the first CSM run out of the refurbished NCC Riverhouse. We have rowers registered from Brazil, New Zealand, Nova Scotia and Detroit as well as 16 rowers from ONEC.
This is ONEC Rowing’s premier event of the season and it all runs with volunteers. We need to hear from you by Monday August 4, 2025.
Norma Strachan (nstrachan@bell.net) is recruiting now for the following teams:
Safety boats – looking for people with their Pleasure Craft Operators Card (PCOC) as well as spotters for shifts to keep the rowers safe. Training will be provided. The lead has committed to having each boat stocked with goodies!

Plus everyone, please don't forget about the Fireworks starting Wednesday, July 30 on Wednesday and Saturday evenings. too much motorized boat traffic to have a rowing scull out there...and watch out for their barges that are the launching sites if you head up towards ORC. great fireworks though.
