In order to take advantage of funding opportunities, we are pleased to announce the expansion of the club's mandate to include rowing as a racing discipline. The club's name will be changed to the False Creek Rowing Canoe Club, and one of the two Geminis will be converted to the new 10 man rowing shell format recently introduced by the ICF. This will allow the club to receive a grant from Sport Canada which will pay for the boat conversion and contribute $5,000 to the athletes' fund. Avril Poisson, spokesperson for Sport Canada, said "we are pleased to support FCRCC with this change in direction".

I also understand  that rowers will be required to face forward to reduce the number near accidents...

Never give a match up halfway through. Never say that you do not feel up to it, that your condition is bad, and throw in the towel. Fight to the very end, always looking for your chance to break through.

It's a joke, look at the name of the spokesperson...Avril Poisson.

In France the person fooled on April Fool's Day is known as poisson d'avril.

Would have been a good use for a gemini though!
