Long-time Winnipeg Rowing Club member Jim Nykoluk recently celebrated his 90th birthday! 🎂

Dozens of Jim's family and friends gathered at the WRC to take part in his special day. It was an honour to discover just how much he has contributed not only to the sport of rowing - but also to hockey, and to golf, and to so many other communities.

Jim has rightfully earned a legendary reputation in Winnipeg's sporting world - and also at the Winnipeg Rowing Club. We're grateful that he is part of our community, and we wish him many more happy birthdays!
