Under the leadership and expertise of some of Canada's top instructors, our mandate is to help paddlers explore current developments in paddling and to celebrate our Canadian Paddling Heritage. A variety of on-water and classroom sessions will focus on the various paddling disciplines including sea kayaking, river kayaking and canoeing.
