Mandate

It is our vision that each of us should have opportunites to pursue healthy alternative lifestyles, regardless of age and ability. It is our mandate to serve communities across Northwestern Ontario with diverse paddling venues and quality instruction; within the context of creating forums for active participation.

The clubs original mandate, at inception, was to provide young and senior athletes with competitive sprint and marathon style canoeing and kayaking experiences. That goal was to raise technical skill levels, promote awareness, and train national caliber athletes. The club has since been instrumental in promoting dragon boat racing across our region. We have been but one catalyst in establishing a truly exciting team sport, in concert with local charities; raising funds and launching a number of sustainable seasonal festivals.

Now, as the sport and regional partnership expands, so does our mandate. We are now placing additional emphasis on youth and adult learning skills related to sports and volunteer development.
