Who We Are

In partnership with the Bayside Rowing Club, Toronto Police and the Viking Boat Races and Festival, this is the Eric the Red Rowing League for Kids!

For 15 years the Bayside Rowing Club was founded to make the sport of rowing more accessible to the Toronto community, with a specific emphasis on teaching the sport of rowing to underprivileged, inner city kids. With a great deal of passion, energy and ambition, we have managed to raise over $3 million for our kids since 1993 through innovative programming and revenue-generating initiatives.  Since the sport requires a great deal of expenses, we reach out to corporate sponsors to make Eric the Red available to everyone.

Bayside Rowing Head Coach Dominic Kahn (see below) was recently awarded the Rotary Club Award for Youth Impact in Toronto. Though he may have won the award, it could not have been accomplished without the support of all the teams, individuals and supporters over the years.
