Trip Co-Ordination

The Trip Co-ordinating Committee got together in the off season and planned a full schedule of trips for the 2020 season. You can check out the schedule here: 2020-2021 Training & Trip Schedule.

trip days & times

Every Tuesday we have a canoe trip on various rivers close to home and some further afield. Every other Thursday we have “Easy Breezy” canoe trips for those who prefer canoeing on still water such as ponds and small lakes. For more details, see “Canoe Trip Times

We have 2 trailers that carry 6 canoes each and one trailer also carries a kayak. If car topping is required, the driver who car tops will have their trip fee refunded back to them.

We meet at the shed on Tuesday mornings at 8:30 a.m. for an 8:45 departure. There is a $6 fee for each trip and a $9 fee for longer trips (as indicated by *). On longer trips, we meet at the shed at 8:00 a.m. for an 8:15 a.m. departure. (Money from the trip fees is used to pay mileage to the towers).

Thursday Easy Breezy outings meet at the shed at 9:00 a.m. for a 9:15 departure. These outings are always on calm water.

trip organizing

We have members that volunteer to organize the various canoe trips. There is a detailed, step by step “how to” on the blog on how to do this.  You will find that here under “Trip Organization Steps” on our blog under Trip Organizing.  We will assist you if you have never done this before. Hopefully we can get some new people to try their hand at leading a trip. If you want more information, want to volunteer to lead a trip or want to offer your services as a tower, please indicate this on your registration form as well as contacting Anne at annewoolner@hotmail.com .  Please consider volunteering to organize a trip, especially if you’ve been a member for a while!. In the past, trips have been cancelled when no one stepped up to be the organizer!

are you ready?

We also have training for both  new and returning members to keep your skills sharp and possibly learn something new.  Lynn Warmington has organized all of our training –Basic, intermediate and Refresher courses. For more information contact Lynn at lynnwarmington1@gmail.com  or check out her report for more details.

Anne Woolner, Trip Co-Ordinator
