Scholarship Program

CanoeKayak BC athletes are a enthusiastic group of young people. Their dedication and commitment to the sport they love is both inspiring and genuine. Not only do they excel on the water but in all areas of their lives.

The sport of canoe/kayak teaches more than technical skills; it teaches the ability to manage time, listen to instruction, work independently as well as with others, and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. CanoeKayak BC provides our athletes with tools and memories to move through life and now it is our chance to help them do just that with the CanoeKayak BC Scholarship Fund.

Introduced in 2008, the CanoeKayak BC Scholarship Fund will award two scholarships to deserving students who are attending a British Columbian post-secondary institution. These scholarships honor young BC students who have:

  • Attained high scholastic achievement
  • Shown outstanding leadership traits and skills in canoe/kayak and within their community
  • Demonstrated a personal contribution to improve their community, school, and club.
  • Attained athletic achievements in Canoe/Kayak
  • Continued to demonstrate leadership as members of CanoeKayak BC

Alumni Program

CanoeKayak BC is currently developing an alumni program to reconnect members of our organization and its predecessors (Canoe Racing BC and the BC Flatwater Canoe Association). The alumni directory includes provincial team members since 1969!

Canadian Sport 4 Life

Project funding from 2010 LegaciesNow has allowed CKBC to develop the following Implementation Plan to ensure that our members develop using CS4L principles.

BC Summer Games

For the first time in many years CKBC will be a part of the BC Summer Games in 2010.  As part of our Canadian Sport 4 Life implementation plan we will be encouraging athletes to participate in a variety of disciplines (Sprint, Whitewater and Outrigger) and in a variety of events (kayak and canoe).  Contacts for each zone and the selection criteria for each zone will be posted shortly.
