Celebrating 20 years of Ridgeback Rowing
For 20 years, Ontario Tech Rowing has been defined by commitment, resilience, and teamwork. From early mornings on the water to championship races, our student-athletes have built a program grounded in excellence, and a community that extends far beyond graduation.
Today, we invite you to help shape what comes next.
20th Anniversary Campaign - be part of the boat
To celebrate 20 years of Ridgeback Rowing, we are raising funds to purchase a midweight coxed four, a boat that will carry the next generation of student-athletes forward.
This milestone boat will be christened in honour of our 20th anniversary, and alumni and supporter names will be featured on the deck.
Every time it launches, it will carry your legacy with it.

With more than 350 alumni, this is a goal we can achieve together.
