In 1981, this memorial was rededicated to include the members of the Club who fell during the Second World War.

Additional funding was raised by the club for a total project cost of more than $2.3 million.

[4] The current facility officially opened on September 3, 2010, accommodating more programming for educational and day-camp operations and training for athletes from beginners to Olympians.

The club also offers courses in more conventional recreational canoes, kayaks and stand up paddle boards, and is the venue for the Head of the Rideau rowing regatta, held annually in late September by the Ottawa Rowing Club.

[6] Eight Olympians have come from Rideau, including Frank Amyot, Claudia Hunt, Sue Holloway, Karen Tippett, Renn Crichlow, Angus Mortimer, Rhys Hill, Kristin Gauthier, and Madeline Schmidt.
