The Petrie Island Canoe Club will be hosting a Canoeing event for individuals with intellectual disabilities as part of the Special Olympics Paddling Program. This is a fantastic opportunity for participants to get involved in the sport of Canoe Kayak, whether they are looking for a recreational activity or a chance to compete at various levels.

The program, supported by Canoe Kayak Canada, aims to create a welcoming environment for athletes, with a strong focus on inclusivity and support. Coached by experienced instructors, participants can look forward to engaging paddling sessions taking place every Tuesday from July 2 to August 23, 2024.

To join in on the fun, interested athletes will need to pay a registration fee of $240, which covers regatta fees, insurance, and a CKO Sprint membership.
