Hong Kong National Rowing Team makes waves on Lake Brome

August 13, 2024 by Taylor McClure

Following a gold medal win at the World Rowing Cup II, the Hong Kong National Rowing Team has come to Knowlton to train for the upcoming 2024 World Rowing Championships in St. Catherines, Ontario.

For over a week, the Hong Kong National Rowing Team has been training out of the Knowlton Rowing Club at Douglas Beach as athletes take advantage of the variable weather conditions on Lake Brome.

Senior Coach Huang Zhongming explained to CIDI that the mix of calm waters and rough and windy conditions on Lake Brome allows athletes to experience long distance training and high-intensity short distance training, which helps them prepare for the different challenges they may face on the water.

The team is hosted by local resident and professional rowing coach Gavin McKay, whom hopes to see Knowlton continue to embrace rowing and support those that want to establish themselves in the sport.

The Community Training and Development Centre in Cobourg is receiving $723,035 from the province’s Skills Development Fund for a new cross-functional project.

Minister of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development David Piccini, who is also the local MPP for Northumberland – Peterborough South, made the announcement Friday afternoon.

The new CTDC training program will be supported by experts across the health and social services fields, focusing on human development, understanding vulnerable populations, professional ethics and essential workplace skills.

The program is split into two components, including the training element that will involve learning from sector experts over a 20-day period through an online method.

That will be followed by work experience delivered by an employer from the health, social, or children’s service sector.
