You will learn all about our club, meet current members and get excited about joining us on the water this season. Everyone is welcome.
The first paddle of the 2023 season was on Monday May 29th. Susanna Foo looks fantastic …so shiny and bright. Many thanks to our volunteers!
The day was bright and sunny; the enthusiasm was very high. It was great to meet a number of new paddlers this year; not only new people to Haliburton but also new to the sport.
The club has a number of steers persons and coaches. Hopefully over the season, pictures of all of them will be posted. All of them volunteers.
The picture below was taken by a man sitting on his dock as we paddled by (on our Wednesday morning paddle).

It has not been the warmest or driest spring that the Highlands has ever had but that doesn’t stop these paddlers. On June 3rd the temperature was only 5 degrees but we paddled…a little harder maybe just to keep warm.
June 17th; the sun was shining, the water was calm and clear and we paddled hard ‘cause we can.
The reflection in the water was amazing!
Wayne was our steers-person and Marg was our coach
Life is so good in the Haliburton Highlands….come join us!
