2010 Canadian Professional Paddling Conference
(Originally the Central-Canadian Paddling Symposium)

Canadian Professional Paddling Conference

We are still looking for instructors to present at this fall's conference. If you are an innovative, effective instructor, please tell us what you teach & how you do it in a 1.5 hour lesson on land or water. Email your proposal to info@paddlingcanada.com.

More Updates 

Why it is important to gather participants emails where possible.
When you report a course, all participants with a valid email address receive a personalized "Thanks for taking a course" automated email. Participants with the address default@paddlingcanada.com do not. Some participants ask why their families or friends on a particular course are getting a message and they are not. Please double your efforts this summer to get course participant email addresses.

Waiver Forms/Cards
The office still has lots of FREE Youth Cards
available, however we are out of Adult Waiver cards. New printed stock of Adult Waivers can be purchased for $1.20 per card plus HST and shipping.

TIP for Instructor Trainers helping instructor candidates pre-register:
If multiple instructor candidates (at an outfitter, camp, college, etc.) are using same computer/browser to register, try clearing the cache & cookies between users. This will avoid problems with registering new instructor accounts in database.

Thanks for reading. Until next month, stay cool and keep your paddle in the water,
