Our Mission

Maple Bay Rowing Club inspires the love of rowing in the Cowichan Valley through Community and Safe Sport.

Vision Statement

MBRC is a safe and inclusive community where people of all ages, abilities, and experience levels are supported to participate in rowing in ways meaningful to them. Through collaboration and excellence in coaching, MBRC nurtures physical, emotional, and social wellbeing, empowering recreational and competitive rowers to pursue growth and achievement. We strive to foster belonging and purpose through rowing, strengthening individual lives and contributing to lifelong participation in sport in the Cowichan Valley.

“How We Live Our Vision”

Guided by our core values of Respect, Inclusion, Service, Integrity, and Team, we collaborate with athletes, coaches, volunteers, and families to:

Provide adaptable pathways for participation in rowing
Recognize and value diverse definitions of success, from recreation and wellness to competitive achievement
Establish strong relationships that build confidence and connection to sport
Foster shared decision-making, mentorship, and leadership development

Through these actions, MBRC supports individual health, collective and community wellbeing, and sustained engagement in rowing.

Since 1975, Maple Bay Rowing Club has been promoting rowing in Maple Bay, BC on Vancouver Island. Our members, from mid-Vancouver Island, enjoy rowing for its health, fitness, and social perks. We offer activities for both Junior and Master rowers, as well as non-rowing social members who support our club.
