Hey Everyone,
Just a quick update with the PaddleAll program:
Weekly Sessions
We are proud to announce that our sessions will be occurring weekly every Wednesday afternoon from 3 to 5pm. An exact start date is yet to be determined, but it will be sometime in the first couple of weeks of July. Keep checking back here for the official start sessions.
Group Bookings
We would like to make group bookings available. These bookings will depend upon the date/time, and the availability of our volunteers. Do book a group session there must be a minimum of 5 participants. If you would like to inquire about a group booking please feel free to email us.
Costs
Our goal when starting this program was to make it as affordable as possible. Having said that, costs of insurance needs to be covered by each participant. There is a one-time $30 cost which will cover your insurance for the whole summer. Group bookings' are $10 per participant - which only covers the one session.
Thank you all for the support we have received over the last few weeks. Keep checking back for updates!

Calling all participants and volunteers!
Hi everyone!
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. Deadline to apply: June 24th, 2011.
We look forward to seeing you on the water!

First Post!
Hey Everyone,
Welcome to False Creek Racing Canoe Club's, and Vancouver's, first and only exclusive canoe and kayak adaptive paddling program. In the near future we hope to have a website created for the program as well as other outlets to check for updates and to get more info (Facebook and possibly Twitter). In the meantime, keep checking back here for updates and the goings on of the program.
Basically, we would like to open the program up to anyone of any age. Since this is our first year with the program, it is somewhat experimental and we don't have all the infrastructure and equipment that we would like to have. However, we will try to cater to anyone's needs independant of the physical and/or mental disability.
We are now accepting applications for volunteers wanting to help out with the program. We are hoping to have roughly six volunteers throughout the summer helping us with the program. If you are, or know anyone who is interested, please email us for a volunteer application form. We will try to find some way of providing a link to the forms online in the future, but for now this blog-style site does not allow uploading/downloading of files. There is a promotional flyer for the program as well. We will try and make it available for download in the near future, but for now please feel free to email us if you would like one. Any help with promoting the program would be greatly appreciated!
If you have any quesitons or concerns about the program, please do not hesitate to get in touch at fcrcc.paddleall@gmail.com.
Thank you!
