We head North of the border to check in with Halifax Rowing Club in Nova Scotia. Despite a global pandemic that wreaked havoc on rowing programs everywhere, the Halifax team spirit remained intact, rowing continued, training pivoted, and they ended the season with a virtual awards ceremony. We chat with HRC Coach Holly Davy, HRC Program Manager and rower Jen Devitt, and masters scullers Kathy Schwartzentruber and Craig Evans. We're enamored with the club's resilience, motivation, and dedication.
