Fort Canoe Kayak Club

12 local Fraser Valley athletes have arrived in Ottawa to start competing at the Canoe Kayak 2026 National Championships.

BUT, just because they are far away, does not mean we can’t cheer.

Check-in in here for updates on medals, competition, and more. We would love to see you cheering. Tag us, comment on their successes, and show them your support!

Can’t wait to see what the Fort Canoe Kayak Club can do on the national stage!

For 364 days a year there is a FRIENDLY rivalry down on the Bedford Channel between rowers and paddlers. 🛶🚣‍♀️

One goes backwards. One goes forwards. There’s a reason we follow flow pattern. 👏🛶

However, one day a year, we hold a switch boat day. The rowers get to try out our sprint boats and we (the paddlers) get to try out row boats!!!

Yesterday evening, both clubs came together, laughed, got wet, and ate some hot dogs.

Thank you FLYRS Rowing Fort Langley Youth Rowing for co- hosting this amazing community bonding event.

We already can’t wait to try again next year!

ADULTS! Are you looking for an activity this Fall?

Come out and try our Paddling program!

Each Saturday morning we will introduce you to kayak techniques, water safety, and spend some quality time outside on the Bedford Channel in Fort Langley.

WOW! What a summer.☀️🛶🚣‍♀️

As we come into our last week of summer programming (for most programs), we would like to thank everyone who came out and gave our programs a try!

We have been rebuilding, like everyone, from COVID-19’s impact on sports and programs- and finally hit where we have been working so hard to get to.

Thank you to our participants, Fort families, board members, coaches, and athletes for all that you have put into our programs.

We can’t wait to see what we can accomplish next year.

DONT FORGET- we have Fall programs available for registration now at www.fortcanoekayak.ca

‼️FALL REGISTRATION IS OPEN!‼️

Did you miss summer programming or just want to get out on the water more? We have the solution for you! 🛶

This fall, we are offering our intro to paddling for ADULTS and YOUTH! 🎉

Adults- we would love to see you out on the water. The average age is about 30-60, but our program welcomed anyone aged 15+ (we usually cap it around 98 years old… feel free to break the record though)

Youth- if you’ve done one of our programs before and don’t want to commit to fundamentals, try our fall intro program again!

FUNDAMENTALS- keep wanting to come back for more? Join us on Tuesday / Thursday / Saturday for an amazing program ran by some amazing coaches!

SUMMER CAMP SPOTLIGHT 💡🔦✨

Did you know every Thursday afternoon we load up our canoes and voyager and head to a secret mud beach for an afternoon of exploring, mud slides, sandcastles, mud spas, and plenty of muddy fun?!

Make sure to bring some extra towels for the car… but we do have hoses and the river to get most of the mud off!

It’s one of the highlights each week of camp‼️

CAMP IS FULL THIS YEAR (and waitlists are maxed out)… but check back in December when registration opens for next year!
