If you are already a member or just thinking of joining - this is place to gather all information about the Balmy Beach Canoe Club.
The Canoe Club starts paddlers as
young as 10 years of age with classes of Competition
Categories ranging from Atom to Masters. Beach has a rich tradition
of successful competition and over the years, several members of Canada’s
Olympic Canoeing Team originally came from Balmy Beach. There is also a
Masters class comprised of male & females 25 + who compete for National
honours at the Canadian Masters Championships. The Canadian
Masters Championships did not come into being until 1986, a year after
the first World Masters Games that were held in Toronto in 1985. Since
then Beach paddlers have participated in the World Masters Games held in
1989 at Copenhagen, Denmark, 1994 at Brisbane, Australia and again in 1998
at Portland, Oregon. Beach has won the overall National title in 1988 and
1989.
