Paddle Canada is proud to present the 2009 WATERWALKER Film Festival - a tribute to the late Bill Mason, the great canoeist, conservationist and filmmaker who inspired so many of us to enjoy paddling and Canada's waterways. Our goal for the Festival is to raise public awareness and support for paddling and the environment by celebrating films on canoeing and kayaking and the preservation and protection of our environment.

HOSTING A WATERWALKER EVENT IN YOUR AREA
Whether you are interested in raising money for your club or organization, recruiting new members for your paddling club or just want to get everyone to get out and paddle, why not host a WATERWALKER event in your area? You can also tie-in other events to the Festival such as other local festivals, slide shows, guest speakers and displays. We can tailor an event to fit your needs. The festival is available to tour throughout Canada and the US.

FEATURED FILMS
The 2009 festival showcases exciting action, adventure and environmental films from around the world and features films that can be enjoyed by all paddlers. Follow the David Thompson Brigade as they retrace the epic journey of David Thompson and paddle over 3,600 km from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta to Thunder Bay, Ontario.

PULSE is the latest action whitewater kayaking film starring Tao Berman, from the creator of the renowned TWITCH series of films. It follows Tao and friends and includes stunning footage and interviews as well as three unique action segments.

From the award-winning filmmakers that created Pacific Horizons, comes Eastern Horizons, another inspirational and breathtaking sea kayaking adventure film documenting North America’s east coast.

Film entries are now being accepted for the 2010 WATERWALKER Film Festival. We are already gearing up for next year. Why not make a paddling film of your tripping adventures this summer?

The 2010 festival will feature exceptional films on canoeing, kayaking, sea kayaking, nature, high adventure and conservation of water environments.

Deadline for entries is Friday, December 4th, 2009.
Entry forms are available on the website.

We look forward to receiving your 2010 entries. Good Luck!
