PADDLE CANADA CANOE PROGRAM
Paddle Canada sets national standards for instruction and certification in Canoeing. Their National Canoe Program was launched in 2009 and consists of three distinct levels. In order to successfully progress through each level, paddlers should gain considerable paddling experience between courses. In all courses, paddlers are taught the Leave No Trace principles of environmental awareness and protection. To learn more click the Paddle Canada logo.
