Canoe Kids and Regatta
Ready |
Cindy Aldrich-Braddon is the Canoe Kids Director.
Working with the Paddling Committee she is in charge of defining the
schedule and the prices for the Canoe Kids and Regatta Ready programs.
The Canoe Kids program is a week long day camp experience focused on
all aspects of safe paddle sports. Campers will be introduced to canoeing,
kayaking, safety, field sports, basic lifesaving, leadership games, and
crafts.
Regatta Ready is a two week pre-competitive program for young paddlers
who are looking for more of a challenge than Canoe Kids but who aren't yet
ready to commit to a competitive sprint racing program.
There will be 9 Canoe Kids sessions and 4 Regatta Ready ones. Tell your
friends and family members to go and check the website for more
information and to download the registration forms. The sessions fill up
very quickly!

EOD Athlete Testing in Ottawa |
by Graeme Lind
On January 30, approximately 35 paddlers from the Carleton Place,
Ottawa River and Rideau Canoe Clubs gathered in Ottawa to participate in
the inaugural EOD Athlete Testing.
Beginning at Carleton Heights School, the athletes performed various
fitness tests, including a twenty-meter shuttle run (aka the “beep test”),
a two-minute pushup test and several other tests evaluating core strength,
agility, and upper/lower-body power. The group then continued to the
Carleton University pool where they completed a 300m-swim test!
Congratulations to all twenty Peewee, Bantam, Midget, Juvenile and
Junior Rideau athletes who participated!
