What we offer & Who we are

Thanks for checking out the Calgary Canoe Club.

The sport of paddling includes a variety of disciplines and most of those disciplines (river, sea kayaking etc) can be found in the Calgary area. Over the years we have dabbled in some river tripping and river kayaking. We have narrowed our focus to do what we feel we do best and that is to focus the CCC programming on youth and adult competitive paddling programs here on the reservoir. This includes sprint canoe/kayak and outrigger (for adults).

Due to the congestion with other training activities on the reservoir at the North Glenmore Park location we limit the variety of paddling activities we offer. Weekday evenings and weekends are very busy with training therefore we do not offer any lesson programs during these times. Note that parking will be limited. We still encourage our recreation members and canoe rentals to come down and explore the reservoir. Check out the links below.

We do NOT offer:

• Adult recreation courses for canoes and kayaks. There are a number of Calgary based companies and Clubs that do. We suggest to google what you are looking for to see what options are available.
• Recreation kayak rentals to the public, kayaks are reserved for our members. Check the City of Calgary for canoe and kayak rentals at the South Glenmore Park location, link here
