Pre-Provincials Whitewater/Slalom camp
The Saskatoon Whitewater Kayak Club will be hosting a Pre-Provincials Whitewater/Slalom camp at the Kananaskis from Wednesday, Sept 1 - Friday Sept 3 and throughout the Provincials weekend. Because of the short notice of this camp there will be a coaching fee of $200 and participants will be required to supply their own accomodation and food. The coaching fee will cover coaching during the camp as well as for the Provincials weekend unless you wish to be coached by your regular club coach during the race. It sounds like it would be extremely expensive to book Canoe Meadows for the week so if you want to camp, Bow Valley Campground may be your next best option or you may want to find a friend's house in Calgary or Canmore to stay at.
We will meet at Canoe Meadows at 9:00 Wednesday morning and will decided on groups then.
Any parents who would like to help out with cooking and shuttles would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Contact me at brendancurson@yahoo.ca or 306.979.5218 for any questions or further details.

KAYAKERS PROPOSE LEASE FOR CANOE MEADOWS CAMPGROUND

Dear Paddlers,
The Alberta Whitewater Association (AWA) needs your assistance in convincing the Government of Alberta to negotiate a long-term sports facility lease at Canoe Meadows. Please read through our proposal carefully and if you agree with the premise that Canoe Meadows is about paddling and not a general public group campground and should be managed for and by paddlers then please send a letter of support to:

1. your MLA and (MLA List: http://www.agcat.org/mla2.htm)
2. Cindy Ady

Minister of Sports, Recreation and Parks
#229 Legislature Building
10800 97 Avenue
Edmonton, AB
Canada T5K 2B6
'TPR.minister@gov.ab.ca'

The paddling community was quite successful in marshalling support against the changes to the Navigable Waters Protection Act and I am trusting that we can do the same and this time win our battle by working together.

Thank you for taking the time to read this proposal and to support the future of paddling in Alberta.

Chuck Lee
Executive Director – AWA
