The
Gorge
Rowing and Paddling Centre in Victoria
was established in 2001 as a high performance club where
elite athletes would be able to train year-round with
other athletes of a comparable calibre. The club worked
in conjunction with the Pacific Sport National Training
Centre at its outset but then became a part of the GO
Rowing and Paddling Association, focusing primarily
on rowing, outrigger and dragon boat. Due to the restructuring
of the Gorge facility and the emergence of the Fairway
Gorge Paddling Club, GR&PC has been
disbanded in favour of the new
Chinook Racing Canoe Club.
