At the 2025 CBR Sports Awards, Rowing ACT was awarded the Ministers Award for Excellence in Innovation, recognising the ongoing upgrades to our regattas through our digital optimisation project.

Over the past 18 months and moving forward, Rowing ACT has established upgrades to our umpire and regatta capabilities, through WiFi sites at regattas, eReader tablets for our umpires, creating Live Streaming Opportunities, with more to come.

We are incredibly humbled by this recognition and grateful to Minister Berry and ACT Sport and Recreation for this ongoing support through the Industry Partnership Program and other programs.

As noted by Rowing ACT President Kent Peters on the night, these projects expand on the offerings we can provide to our community throughout the regatta season. It is appropriate that as we head towards the regatta weekend, with the biggest entries of the season so far, we celebrate the work we have achieved across a number of years, and celebrate what is to come.

We also acknowledge and celebrate Isobel Egan (Radford-ACTAS) who was named as a finalist in the Rising Star category, and who just missed out on the night.
