Membership, donations and volunteering help to support our organization. Membership and donations are used for expenses such as our PO Box, maintaining our website, mailings, supporting and hosting our sponsored races, participation at sports shows, purchasing buoys and boat numbers for races, and to support other paddling events and organizations. Your support allows us to: promote paddlesport racing; provide safety training for paddlers; recruit and train prospective future racers; explore paddling opportunities in the north country; and improve paddler fitness through participation in these activities in the St. Lawrence Valley and beyond.
