London Western Rowing Club
Olympic Gold!
History was made as the Canadian Women’s 8 brought home a gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, the first time since 1992! Among these Olympic champions is London’s own Susanne Grainger. From the London Central Secondary School rowing team to an Olympic gold medalist for the Women’s national team, we couldn’t be more proud!

“Transforming lives through rowing”
Rowing changes lives in diverse ways, such as: the value of challenge, commitment and grit; a connection to the outdoors and nature; the physical and health benefits of exercise; teamwork and camaraderie; the satisfaction of teaching, coaching and learning.
