Strategic Plan

CKBC's Strategic plan ran out during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Until further notice we have put in place our COVID-19 Continuity Plan as an interim Strategic Plan to get us through COVID-19.

The Canoe Kayak BC Strategic Plan for 2016 through 2020 builds on the successes of the previous planning period and works to better support and deliver programming and services for all members. Canoe Kayak BC will increase participation programs, improve engagement with all paddling disciplines and provide exemplary support for our performance athletes. Our coaches and officials are key elements of the organization and will continue to contribute significantly to the experience enjoyed by all athletes and volunteers. Our member clubs are our foundation and we will endeavour to deliver quality services.

The Canoe Kayak BC 2016-2020 Strategic Plan challenges us to better embrace our whole paddling community as we move to achieve our new Vision.
