The Venue
The Olympic basin on Ile Notre-Dame faces downtown Montreal and was originally built for the 1976 Olympic Games. The island where it is located, in the middle of the Saint Lawrence River, was specifically built for the 1967 World’s Fair. It is now referred to as Parc Jean-Drapeau and is also home to Montreal’s Casino, a magnificent municipal beach, and the Gilles-Villeneuve racetrack, home of the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix.
Since it’s construction, the basin has been the site of numerous international rowing events including the 1976 Olympic Summer Games, and the World Rowing Championships in 1975, 1984 and 1992. It has also been the home of the 28th FISA World Rowing Masters Regatta in 2001, the 2003 Canadian Open Masters Rowing Championships, and the site of the Rowing Canada Cup held annually since 1982.
The Olympic Rowing Basin is 2,180 meters long, 110 meters wide and 2,3 meters deep. It is equipped with an Albano system, which divides the basin into seven equal lanes, each 13.5 meters wide. The basin conforms to FISA standards for starting gate equipment and electronic timing equipment. Competitors, with their shells and equipment, are well served by storage areas and athletes facilities next to the race course.
