109th NWIRA Regatta Starts Today on Rabbit Lake

Another weekend, another major sporting event in Kenora.

The 109th annual Northwestern International Rowing Regatta begins this morning on Rabbit Lake.

Over two hundred paddlers from northwestern Ontario, Minnesota, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are expected in town for the two day event.

While the Kenora Rowing Club is hosting, fewer than a dozen local rowers are expected to compete.

Organizers are still looking for volunteers to help out with the regatta.
