On the water!
Our 2025 paddling season kicks off on Tuesday, May 20, with on-water training running through to early October. We’re thrilled to welcome six new paddlers to the team this year! Each will enjoy four trial practices before making a commitment—an exciting way to dip into the sport and our supportive community.
Glebe Garage Sale – May 24, 2025
Every year the City of Ottawa hosts the Glebe Garage Sale. This year we participated by hosting a table or two of items for sale in the garage sale.
Thank you to all who came out in the rain, the Garage Sale was a HUGE SUCCESS!
2025 Dragon Wing Begonia update
Our 2025 Dragon Wing Begonia fundraiser was a blooming success! Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we raised $7,000 to help cover equipment and coaching costs. The plants were absolutely stunning—big, vibrant, and thriving. 🌸 Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible!
GO CANADA GO!!!!
