About Us
Celebrating it's 40th Anniversary, Paddle Canada is a non-profit national recreational canoeing, sea & river kayaking and SUP organization supported mostly by our members and our programs.
- National training programs in Canoeing, Sea Kayaking, River Kayaking and now Stand Up Paddleboarding, continue to be the main activity taken on by the organization.
- There are about 1500 individual and instructor members along with 8 Regional Member Paddling Associations that work together to deliver programs, education and awareness of safe and fun paddling.
- A total of about 1000 courses with over 5000 participants are delivered nationally.
- Our board and committees work with members on political and environmental threats facing paddlers.
- We partner with Rapid Media's Adventure Kayak, Rapid and Canoeroots Magazines to deliver our organizations news, in a 3 page insert to members and subscribers alike all over North America (this instead of publishing our own magazine)
