It is almost time to go canoeing! If you live in the La Ronge area, you have to get out on the water at this time of the year & canoeing is one of the best ways to do it.

Cost friendly, convenient, good exercise & slow enough to enjoy the beauty of northern Saskatchewan. We have a canoe club (Pimiskatan Canoe Club – the only marathon canoe club in northern Saskatchewan) a few minutes from Town at Eagle Point Marina with 16 canoes 50m from the sheltered waters of McGibbon Bay.

Our opening will be at 7 p.m. on Wed., May 22 at Eagle Point Marina.

We won’t have our weekly race then (weekly races starting May 29) but we will have a quick meeting update & hopefully have our parking passes.

Anyone anxious for a quick paddle can take out a canoe on May 22.We will continue with our weekly races at 7 p.m. on Wednesdays and lessons/recreational paddling at 7 p.m. on Thursdays.

Trips & other activities will be by members’ interests.

Our annual race will be Aug. 24 & with the Saskatchewan Summer Games coming up on July 21-24 in Lloydminister & the Tony Cote Summer Games on Aug. 13-15 in La Ronge, our Canoe Club will be a great place to train.Registration is only online at http://PIMCC.rampregistrations.com
