The Winnipeg Rowing Club is located on the Red River just south of The Forks in downtown Winnipeg. It is one of the oldest sporting organizations in Western Canada.The Winnipeg Rowing Club has been in operation since 1881, stopping only twice in its history – during WWI and WWII. It survived the Northwest Rebellion of 1885, the General Strike of 1919, the Great Depression of the 1930's, the Great Flood of 1950, and the Flood of the Century in 1997. Over the years the clubhouse has been destroyed by fire, wind, and water, but has somehow always managed to maintain its long and proud tradition.Today, the WRC is a non-profit organization, with a rich and successful sporting history, and fostering generations of camaraderie and friendships. Members range from 13 to 85, and the club offers programs for all skill levels.WRC is a member of Manitoba Rowing Association (MRA) and Rowing Canada Aviron (RCA).Our MissionThe Winnipeg Rowing Club is dedicated to providing programs and the required infrastructure designed to meet the needs of its members – be it youth, senior, master, or recreational and competitive athletes – and to enable all rowers to grow in the sport to their full potential
St. Vital MuseumWelcome to the St. Vital MuseumThe former St. Vital police station, located within the fire station at 600 St. Mary's Road, is now the current home of the St. Vital Museum. It is a two-storey brick structure with stone facing on the main level. Erected in 1914, the station housed both the St. Vital Police and Fire Departments, the latter of which first began operating with three horse-drawn carriages and six firemen. At the rear were stables for horses which drew the wagons and sleighs up until the 1930's at which point pumper trucks were used. The first fire truck appeared in 1923 with the purchase of an REO Speedwagon. The second floor of the building also originally provided living quarters for the firemen.
