Upper Ottawa Valley Boat Club - Pembroke | Canadian Rowing Clubs | Row HQ

Upper Ottawa Valley Boat Club is a historically genuine Pembroke, Ontario organisation. Its public profiles describe a non-profit group for rowing, sailing and paddling, built through a community-based and volunteer-driven approach.

Row Ontario says the club was created through its Shells and Sails programme in the late 2000s and identifies it as the former Petawawa and Area Boat Club. The provincial association's records show that it later became a Row Ontario member.

The club's public social material advertises rowing sessions, Learn to Row activity and a half-day youth camp. Its Instagram profile also records two wins at the 2015 Head of the Rideau. No current standalone club website or verified street address was found.

Current status needs caution. Rowing Canada board minutes classify the organisation as inactive and record that its national membership was terminated on 21 November 2021 for non-payment of annual dues. The current Row Ontario member directory does not list the club, while search-visible social material continues to describe rowing activity.

Because the named organisation is a real boat club rather than an event or venue, it is retained for review. Its programme details should not be presented as current without direct confirmation from the club.
