Dynamic Opportunities For Youth Rowing Program

A Partnership with Dynamic Mutual Funds; Foundation 2000 Plus; Saskatoon Optimist Club; and the Saskatoon Rowing Club

In 2001 the Saskatoon Rowing Club participated in an across Canada rowing program for kids that might not otherwise have the opportunity to benefit from the rowing experience. The following is an exerpt from the Foundation 2000 Plus wrap up

10 participants

As the first partner in the national expansion of Dynamic Opportunities for Youth, the SRC was well organized for the program, and the results are shown in feedback from counsellors and participants alike. Both the club executive and the coaching staff showed exceptional commitment and preparation for the program, developing creative sessions for participants and meticulously recording their activities in a journal.

Fourteen students signed up for the program from Bedford Road Collegiate and the Native Urban Council. While the latter group did not complete the program due to logistical problems at the Council, the Bedford Road group was a huge success. Participants started with instruction and a fun race on rowing machines, and gradually progressed through the different boat types. All participants had a chance to row together in various combinations, including supervising teachers and counsellors. Optimist Club volunteers provided snacks at each session.

The program wrapped up with a fun race day, a ‘rowing trivia game’, and a Bar-B-Q, allowing participants to demonstrate their newfound skills both on the water and off. Program coaches, volunteers from the rowing club and local Optimists organized the event. Medals, t-shirts, and a certificate of completion were subsequently presented to participants at their school.

Media coverage included a feature by Saskatoon Global TV, CTV News and an article in the Star-Phoenix, Saskatoon’s major daily newspaper.
