Experience ARCHERY at the RA!

Archery is one of the oldest forms of target shooting and an original Olympic Sport. Whether you are new to the sport, advanced, looking to join a club or drop in for a session; the RA has something for everyone.

ARCHERY RANGE ACCESS - MAJOR DISRUPTION

PLEASE NOTE: Access to the Archery range has been disrupted (June, July & August) as the RA undertakes major renovation work in the Curling Centre. At this time, the Archery range may only be accessed through the exterior door adjacent to the sliding glass doors of the Ray Kinsella Arena (East Wing) and the Sundeck patio. There is absolutely no access to the range through the building. Please park in the RA's East parking lot and walk carefully along side the hoarded-off construction area outside the Ray Kinsella Arena entrance. The Archery range and washrooms are situated at the top of the stairs located immediately inside the entrance.

NOTE ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY: The RA makes every reasonable effort to ensure that its policies, practices and procedures are consistent with the principles of dignity, independence, integration and equal opportunity. However, due to the limitations of this temporary entrance to the range, accessibility issues may arise. Please contact the RA Member Services at (613) 733-5100 prior to arrival to confirm whether we can meet your expectations.

Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.
