Notice to all Coaches & Athletes

Team Bus Parking

Please be advised that due to the extremely limited parking space in and around the boathouse area, Colborne Street, north of the Colborne Street parking lot (see attached map), will be closed to general traffic and all team buses will be required to park in the old John Deere parking lot, just east of the boathouse/trailer area and the waterway. The entrance to this lot is off of Canal Bank Street (Reg Rd 68) and parking attendants will be positioned at the entrance. All athletes arriving on buses are to be dropped off at this lot and then it is a very short walk across Canal Bank Street to the boathouse/trailer area.

Colborne Street Access/Boathouse Shuttle Services/Athlete Drop Off

Colborne Street, north of the Colborne Street parking lot (see attached map), will be closed to general traffic and limited shuttle services will be available for transporting athletes and individuals to the boathouse/trailer area. All athletes dropped off at the Colborne Street parking lot can either wait for the shuttle service or walk to the boathouse area via the footpath on the east side of Colborne Street. However, if an athlete needs to get to the boathouse/trailer area urgently, to make weigh-ins or boat crews, they are strongly encouraged to use the John Deere parking lot (off of Canal Bank Street) as it is a very short walk across Canal Bank Street to the boathouse/trailer area.

Also, please let all family members and friends who will be attending the regatta know about the parking expectations and road closures outlined above. Adherence to the above is greatly appreciated and will help to make this event enjoyable for everyone.

Good luck to all the athletes and have a great weekend of racing!

Regards,

SNRC Regatta Organizing Committee
