False Creek Racing Canoe Club is pleased to offer Vancouver’s first adaptive paddling program this summer. PaddleALL is an adaptive paddling program geared towards breaking down the barriers individuals with disabilities face in getting involved with the exciting sport of flatwater canoe/kayak. PaddleALL is offered both competitively and recreationally to people of all ages, abilities, and walks of life.
Participants will paddle in False Creek (out of Granville Island) in a fun, safe environment. Going by the motto of “Every Boat, EVERYBODY," dedicated staff will work with participants in small groups, building physical fitness, confidence, self-esteem.
We are promoting for this summer's program registration. For information on scheduling and rates, please contact us at:
[email protected], or visit us online at

As this is our inaugural year, volunteer coaches will be integral to the success of the program. We are also currently recruiting individuals who are interested in working with the special needs community in an on-water environment. Experience working with individuals with disabilities, and/or a background in flatwater kayak/canoe would be helpful, but is not required. Please contact us at
[email protected] for the volunteer application package (deadline to apply: JUNE 24).
We look forward to seeing you on the water!
