Posted on February 01, 2012
Great Canadian adventurer Don Starkell takes his final paddle. Article of interest to paddlers in the National Post - please follow the link below. Quotes from the article:"He was also an orphan, an insecure kid, who discovered his freedom and found his confidence - in a canoe", "Paddling changed my life" he says in a clip from Mr. Forde's film. "Everything I have done has come from that."

canews request
Posted on January 05, 2012
Hello RCABCer's! I hope you have all had a lovely holiday season. It's that time again when I ask for submissions for the next edition of the CANEWS! As I am currently on a "working holiday" in New Zealand, canoe guiding on the Whanganui River, I thought it would be great to run some stories about other international (or Canadian) canoeing adventures that our members have experienced. Any stories along those lines, as well as anything else interesting happening around the BC canoe world, would be much appreciated. Please send the submissions to me via email at alanna.m.ray@gmail.com by JANUARY 20TH 2012. Thanks! Alanna Ray RCABC Newsletter Editor
