SUBJECT: Update on Knockout Regatta and Refund Protocol Dear Racers, Last week, we sent out the communication advising that the FCRCC Knockout Regatta has been postponed until further notice. This has not changed. We are still working with the City of Vancouver and Transport Canada to determine an alternate date for our regatta. Since the communication, our club received some good news from viaSport in the form of a grant which will help cover some of our unrecoverable expenses. This has enabled us to make changes to the cancellation options provided previously. For those teams who are registered and […]
Dear members, Thank you for working together to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. This email is an update on FCRCC’s response to the pandemic and to government requests to implement social distancing. CRCC operations remain suspended – until further notice. At present, we do not have the ability to re-open the club’s operations for practices or competitions, based on Provincial Health Officer orders, declarations of states of emergency, and efforts to protect health.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the postponement of our event for this year until further notice. For those teams who are registered and have paid for this year’s regatta, we will be issuing a cancellation protocol soon that […]
Dear member, For those members who have a private boat stored at FCRCC facilities at Alder Bay or the Burrard compound. FCRCC operations remain suspended. The City of Vancouver has suspended all park operations, and the provincial and federal governments are advising that all Canadians remain at home unless necessary. The suspension of park operations at the City of Vancouver means that FCRCC cannot provide access to handwashing facilities, increasing your risk of exposure to COVID-19 and reducing your ability to mitigate your risks by practicing increased hygiene. The FCRCC executive has reviewed options around private boats. At […]

These rules have been updated on March 13th, 2020, following the Provincial Health Officer’s order that events over 250 persons in British Columbia are to be cancelled.
