KHC organizes seasonal group paddling outings that generally fall into two categories:
- recreational paddling for kayaks, canoes & SUPs in flatwater conditions
- paddling on rivers, larger lakes, and the ocean for experienced paddlers who have seaworthy kayaks
For all outings, Transport Canada safety regulations apply:
In addition, the following expectations apply:
- some knowledge of self-rescue is expected
- all participants will stay in sight and earshot and will communicate with the leader if going out of sight
- participants must be able to handle their own boats or SUPs, as required
- KHC does not supply boats or SUPs for outings
- the start time is the time on water, not the arrival time
- participants are expected to bring all needed items for outings
- leaders have the right to refuse to take any member who is not adequately prepared or experienced for that outing
- KHC appoints a Committee each year to oversee the listings for snowshoe events and advise the Board if there are any issues.
