The 208th running of the Royal St. John’s Regatta is a go for today. Since today is a holiday in St. John’s, all city offices and facilities are closed, including all recreation facilities and community centres. Splash pads at Bowring Park, Bannerman Park and Kenmount Park will be open. NTV will have live coverage on NTV and NTV+ of the men’s and women’s championship races and medal presentations beginning at 6:25 p.m. The Royal St. John’s Regatta is the oldest continuing organized sporting event in North America.
