Rowing Canada Aviron High Performance Director Adam Parfitt is thrilled with the addition of Fisher to the national training centre staff and is looking forward to her continuing to help maximize the progression along RCA’s High Performance Pathway, while promoting growth and athlete wellbeing. 

“It’s great to have Lauren joining our team as we grow closer to Paris 2024,” said Parfitt. “Lauren is going to be a great fit with the program and bring an expertise that will continue to unlock potential from within our team both on and off the water.”

A former elite rower herself, Fisher is excited at the opportunity to join RCA helping Canada’s best rowers towards achieving their goals and objectives. 

“I am incredibly excited to be joining the coaching team at Rowing Canada Aviron,” said Fisher.  “I look forward to becoming part of the developing team and culture as we make preparations for the coming season and Paris 2024”
