About this club
Kelowna Rowing Club rows on Okanagan Lake from Gellatly Bay in West Kelowna. Its programme uses the Gellatly Boat Launch area and operates in partnership with West Kelowna Yacht Club.
The club says it was established in 1913 and has rowed on Okanagan Lake since then. Its current profile reports more than 70 members.
Beginners can enter through learn-to-row, while youth, recreational and competitive programmes provide continuing routes into the sport. The club says programme fees include use of equipment and coaching.
The membership ranges from new rowers to competitive athletes. The club also states that its history includes Olympians and podium-level competitors, although the fetched history does not name those athletes or specify their results.
Safety and governing-body compliance are tied to registration with Rowing Canada Aviron and Rowing BC. The programme pages identify Gellatly Bay and Okanagan Lake as the setting for both training and club activity.
Rowing BC has scheduled the inaugural Head of the Okanagan in Gellatly Bay for 2026. The approximately four-kilometre head race includes junior, open and masters categories and is organised by Kelowna Rowing Club.
