The Cameron Clan leave an empty in the coxless four in honour of deceased rower Don Cameron
The Kenora Rowing Club is a member of the North West International Rowing Association (NWIRA). Kenora hosted the two-day NWIRA Championship Regatta August 14 and 15th. Part of the opening ceremonies is a row by with empty seats left in each skul for rowers that passed in the last year.See the Cameron Clan row past minus Don Cameron.
The Lipton Cup is a symbol of dedication and hard work and it is appropriate that the man who presented the Cup to the Association, Sir Thomas Lipton, epitomized these characteristics.
In 1914, Thomas Lipton presented the gleaming silver cup to his friend, Con Riley of Winnipeg, as a means of promoting the sport of rowing in this area. Since then the rowing clubs of the Association have fiercely battled each year for the honor of having their names engraved upon the Lipton Cup.
The Lipton Cup is awarded each year to the club scoring the greatest number of points at the annual NWIRA Championship Regatta.
