HISTORY OF CURC/A

The Canadian University Rowing Association (CURA) governs post-secondary rowing in Canada and promotes participation in rowing through academic and sporting excellence at Canadian Universities. Since 1997 the CURA has held the annual Canadian University Rowing Championship (CURC), hosted by one of the member institutions in early November. The CURC is an opportunity for men's and women's teams to compete for the title of National Champions, and a showcase of top Canadian Under 23 and Senior rowing talent—many of whom have represented or will go on to represent Canada internationally.

More information about the CURA and the CURC 2024, including technical information for visiting teams, can be found on the CURC website.
