Refunds:
The GRC does not issue refunds of program fees. Under special circumstances, a program fee may be partially refunded based on provision of timely, officially documented medical reasons, which cannot have pre-existed at the time of joining GRC. This decision is solely at the discretion of the Board, and subject to deduction of fees committed on behalf of the registrant, such as RowOntario and Rowing Canada membership fees. A $10.00 administrative fee will be deducted from any refund.
Volunteer Obligations:
The GRC is a community organization run entirely by volunteers. All members are expected to contribute 10 hours of volunteer time. Volunteer time is recorded in the volunteer record book at the boathouse. Visit the Volunteering page to learn more about this important club program.
Donations:
Donations to GRC are most welcome.
