  Our Big Canoe Fitness sessions are focused on using the big boats to gain strength, power, and endurance. This is a paddling workout, you will learn many things about paddling the big canoes, but that is not the primary focus. 

  These sessions run every Thursday night depending on weather and water levels from our Buena Vista Storage Sheds. Come early to help get the boats to the water, bring your own paddles, PFDs, water bottles, and any other paddling gear you may require.  Paddlers will also be invited to join Darryl and our leaders for Monday evening sessions.

  We expect these sessions to commence Thursday evenings, 6:45 - 9:00 pm from April 23, and will run until late  August.  Once registered Darryl will forward a google spreadsheet so that you can report on which session you will be attending.... full attendance is the default. Coach Darryl will update on Monday locations once you have registered.

  The start date, and all subsequent sessions depend on appropriate river conditions <600 cms. 

  The club collects a $25/month fee this year to help with program costs (insurance fees are up), equipment maintenance and replacement (we have a new canoe for 2024).  Club equipment is available for new paddlers for the first session or three, then participants are expected to provide their own life-jacket, and bent shaft paddle.  If you've not paddled big canoes before it is best to get in a session or two before acquiring your own paddle.  For each session a water bottle, rain gear, and dry clothes in a small dry bag are good to bring along.

  You must be healthy to attend any sessions, please do a COVID/Flu/Cold self assessment before each paddling session. If you are not feeling well please do not come.

  Registration will be available from April 2 to August 4. You may register for additional sessions at any time.

  Course Change, Cancellation and Refund Policy - Please read the policy on this link before completing any program registration that involves a payment.  Given the extended nature of this program registration changes and cancellations are by email to Darryl.

Students are responsible for transporting all equipment and must make arrangements several weeks ahead of time.

    Milk River

  Register

  Once again, Don and the Bow Waters Canoe Club have invited us to join them on the Milk River trip in southern Alberta, with camping for up to 4 days (Jun 30 to July 4) at Gold Springs Park, just south of the Town of Milk River.  At present (Jan. 30) still a "powered" site or two left (contact Don, see below, ASAP), but still lots of tent sites, and room for a few small RV's/trailers "boon-docking " are available.  Don has reserved for us all, and we are to pay the campground on arrival.

  The Milk River does require, especially the middle runs, some modest river/WW skills.   Rocks need to dodged, eddies entered and exited smartly, corners stayed to the inside.  This river is a step up from the Pembina above Hwy #16.

  Gold Springs park is a spectacular site, and Bow Waters has again booked the back NW corner so you're staying with just paddlers!  One evening is usually a pot luck supper... a reason to go all on its own.  Don has reminded me that; one passes close to the Warner dinosaur dig (dinosaur eggs), the Warner museum in town, and that the Coaldale bird of prey sanctuary are all stops easily made on the way.  And this can be an ideal trip even for non paddlers. His wife loves to swim in the oxbow and go hiking in the area.

  If this sounds like your kind of trip you MUST confirm a camp site with Don.  It is best to also register here, on the Ceyana site so our members can coordinate travel, paddling partners, etc.

  The Ceyana Canoe Club has offered public access paddling (canoe, kayak, & SUP) opportunties to the public for over 20 years at the Rundle Park Paddling Centre.  For 2026 our public access sessions are limited to the last Tuesday of each month. Participants must register in advance.

  At the RPPC we have over 20 canoes, 30+ kayaks, and 8 stand Up paddleboards.  Club Volunteers will be on hand to help new paddler select gear, launch, and will provide basic paddling tips.

  Things to bring:
  

  • Come prepared for the weather, bring a towel, dry clothes (you may fall into the water), and shoes/old sneakers for the water. 
  • Secure prescription eyeglasses with a cord. Glasses do not float.
  • Registration includes 1 adult only OR 1 adult + 1 child under 18 years of age.
  • No children under 5 years of age.

  Registrations:
  

  • $5 non-refundable fee per adult registration. Fees for public access nights will be donated to EPCA (Edmonton Paddling Centres Association) which is a non-profit entity that owns the paddling equipment and leases the property from The City of Edmonton. While this fee is non-refundable it is fully transferable to someone else for the same date booked. Child registration is only transferable to another child.
  • All public non-members must sign a waiver.
  • Registration open July 14-26, 2026.

  Another opportunity to paddle various reaches of the Red Deer River, especially the ones above Drumheller, awaits. 

  The plan is to gather Friday evening at the Morin Campground. It is first come/first served so getting there early may be beneficial.  Then we do day trips on the nearby reaches of the Red Deer river, these vary from about 14 to 20 kms.  The river is consistently Class I with very little easy Class II water around gravel bars, some gravel bar chutes and the occasional large glacial erratic in the river.

  We do cancel if it is ugly! Thunderstorms, big winds, major storm fronts in the forecast, high water >150 cms, etc.  It is best to register so our leaders can send out timely instructions or cancellation!
