The first rowing event on the Deas Slough was a BC Championship held May 10 and 11, 1986. The event was a resounding success. As a result, retired rowing Olympians Lyle Gatley, Joy Fera, and Bill McKerlich worked with other eager volunteers to form a Society; the Delta Deas Rowing Club was incorporated on December 3, 1986.
Coaches Murray Johnson and Lyle Gatley prepared students for the 1987 B.C. Summer Games hosted by Delta Deas Rowing Club. West Shore terminals provided a dock for that event.
The following year, the GVRD gave approval for DDRC to operate in Deas Park. With the help of a "Go B.C." grant and donations from the Delta Credit Union and Delta Cablevision, ground breaking for the Boathouse took place in March 1988.
South Delta Secondary School students from Mr. Gatley’s Building Construction class, along with others, worked for many months on the project, completing it in time to host the B.C. Youth Championships in 1989.

In 1995 the DDRC members expanded the dock to reduce the impact on
the foreshore and to meet the growing needs of the rowing club and
the community. Subsequently, DDRC completed construction of a 1500 square
foot boat-shed for external storage of shells, and dressed up the rowing site
by placing paving stones on the water-side of the boathouse and inside the
gated compound.
The summer of 2015 saw us once again working on the dock. The GVRD
supplied lumber with which we capped the dock, hoping for a bit more life
out of the it while we await confirmed plans for its replacement.
DDRC has hosted an annual High School Regatta for the past 26 years, and a Masters regatta for the past 18 years.
