Events

It seems as though we have a bit of a theme developing this week with all the posts about paddling festivals.  To keep with the theme; Mountain Equipment Co-op will be running a series of paddling festivals through out the season across the country.

I had the pleasure of teaching a number of clinics last year at the Toronto MEC Paddlefest and let’s just say if you looking to get into paddlesports and want more info about boats, gear and skills then this is a great place to be.

Here’s a list of this year’s MEC Paddlefests.
