SPORTS & LEISURE Nurse, row team pull together on calendar Having securely earned her seat in the boat for Canada's women's national 8s rowing team at next month's world championships in New Zealand, Cristy Nurse of Georgetown (second from left and inset) is now going to be in pictures. The 23-year-old University of Ottawa law school student has deferred her studies for a year in order to train and compete full-time with the national squad and recently joined 27 of her teammates in a fundraising calendar titled, We Row: The Women of Canadian Rowing. All proceeds will go to the athletes. The calendars are $20 each and to support Nurse with a purchase call 905-877-0537 or email nurseland@gmail.com.
