The Canadian Secondary School Rowing Association (CSSRA)[2] is an organization which governs high school rowing in Canada. The CSSRA has hosted the main high school rowing event, known as the CSSRA Championships (also known as "Schoolboy") since 1945. Schoolboy is held annually the first weekend of June (Friday through Sunday) in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada at the Royal Canadian Henley Regatta course. The event is open to high schools around the world. The event is the most important high school regatta in Ontario, as well as Canada, and possibly North America. Evidence of this is that crews have been coming from as far as British Columbia (Canada), as well as the United States, and even Mexico.
Several Olympic rowers, including Buffy Williams (nee Alexander) have rowed at Schoolboy. Buffy participated while a student of Holy Cross Secondary School in St. Catharines.
Many crews travel great distances to participate at Schoolboy. Accommodations are thus expensive and difficult to find in St. Catharines and the surrounding region for that weekend.
