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.
