Fridays May 11 & 18 Removed from Schedule

Hi Team,
Taking your input into consideration, we have removed two of the Friday practices from the schedule. There are no longer practices for Fri. May 11 and Fri. May 18.

The other Fridays May 25 & June 1 will remain the same. Please note that in that time frame we do not have Sunday practices, due to the May 20 holiday weekend, and May 27 prep. race weekend; so we are still at 2 practice sessions per week.

We only end-loaded the last two weeks with three sessions each to prepare for race day. Please adjust your schedule according and do your best to not miss any practices from Sunday June 3rd (inclusive) right up to the June 14th practice on Centre Island.

Regards,

Linh

Schedule Updated - 6pm practices, now 6:20pm

Hi Everyone,
Thanks to all those new people who came out to paddle with us. You are already working hard and have been a positive addition to our team.

The Practice schedule has been updated. Please note that 6:00 warm-up times have been changed to 6:20pm. This adjustment has been made to accommodate those who need to travel from afar to get downtown through rush hour traffic.

We understand, and consider your need for extra travel time, and please see this as an opportunity for you to arrive in a timely manner, rather than to allow you to show up later than usual. Thanks everybody for your cooperation.

Practice start times for the rest of the week are as follows:

Wednesday, April 25, 6:20pm
Sunday, April, 29, 10:00am

See you at Sunnyside!

Wednesday Practice - April 18, 6-8pm

Hi Team,
The next practice will be this Wednesday, April 18, from 6pm to 8pm at Sunnyside.
We are still looking for a few paddlers. If you have any friends who are interested, please ask them to contact Hien or myself.

For Wednesday, please remember to dress warmly, as it is still very cold.
Again, warm-ups start at 6:00 PM, followed by the on-water session from 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm. See you on the water!
