We are excited to be celebrating 15 YEARS of our club — Rowing PEI — in 2026 and have lots of great plans!!

 

Annual General Meeting – You are invited to join us as we look back over the 2025 season at our Annual General Meeting.  *please note this AGM is for Rowing PEI (the club) only not the provincial rowing association 
The AGM will be held Saturday March 14, 2026 10 am to noon at the House of Sport, Royalty Centre, 40 Enman Crescent, next to Charlottetown Rural. 
*Google maps may send you to the wrong place so be sure you have the correct location!
If you are interested in serving on the Rowing PEI Board, please contact Alex Forbes who oversees the Nominating Committee at alexmacleanforbes@gmail.com.  All names received will be brought forward to the membership for review and vote (if necessary) at the upcoming AGM.
Please register here so we can plan for the meeting!  
Form: https://forms.gle/ka5RGwpPbQC8vVUJ8
Important Note: There will be one bylaw amendment that we will be voting on.
I move that Section 2.5 be removed from the Constitution of Rowing Prince Edward Island Ltd. 
2.5. To continue to act as the Provincial Sport Organization for the sport of rowing in P.E.I, provided this continues to be permitted by the province and by Rowing Canada.
Moved by Alex Forbes, seconded by Cassidy Doucette. 
This is a necessary change because Rowing PEI is a club ONLY and no longer the provincial rowing association. 

 

PEI Shines at Indoor Rowing Day 2026:
A huge thank you to everyone who took part in Indoor Rowing Day in Canada 2026!! PEI easily surpassed our goal of 255 kilometres, taking us tip to tip across the Island. We collectively rowed 363 kilometres, improving on our 321 kilometres from last year!! WOW! Congrats to everyone who did their first half marathon or 10k or whatever the number. A great team effort! AND we added to the national tally, which took us virtually across Canada from coast to coast, with more than 625 rowers logging 6,103 kilometres!!!  #indoorrowingdayincanada #peiproud

Our coastal boats are made especially for the wind and wave conditions on the Harbour. We row out of the Charlottetown Yacht Club from May to October.
Intro to Rowing is your entry point to the wonderful sport of rowing! Whether you’re looking for a low impact, full body workout, a way to get out on the water, a chance to meet some great people or a combination, it all starts here.
No experience with water sports is needed and it is a great substitute for exercise after being in the gym all winter.

Read more about the benefits of rowing: 
“When we said full-body, we weren’t kidding. There’s just no comparison to cardio exercise that only involves the lower body, such as biking, the elliptical machine, or running on a treadmill. This is a calorie-killing, efficient workout.”

If you are goal-oriented, there is also the opportunity for all ages to compete. We will have coached sessions to prepare crews for the Nova Scotia Sprints in July and the Atlantics in October.
There is also a regatta here on P.E.I. in August every year, on the Brudenell River!
