Kci-Sukultin | The Great Paddle

By Nashwaak Watershed Association

Calling all paddlers!

Nashwaak Watershed Association is helping to host Kci-Sukultin | The Great Paddle on Saturday June 27 traveling from the Marysville Heritage Center grounds on the Nashwaak to the Wolastoq. The Great Paddle will help promote stewardship of the Nashwaak and Wolastoq rivers while educating the community on the proposed Sisson Brook mining project in the Nashwaak watershed near Stanley.

We would love to have all who love our rivers join us; we will provide further details as planning progresses. Participant safety is paramount.

We are also looking for volunteers who are experienced, certified paddlers and/or trained water safety/lifeguard people to help us safeguard the paddlers from put-in to take-out.

Schedule:

• Opening Ceremony: 8:00 am
• Put in: 8:30 am Marysville Heritage Centre, 11 McGloin St
• Take out: 1:00 pm near Princess Margaret Bridge.
• A shuttle will be provided.

Requirements:

• Every paddler will be required to wear a certified PFD for the duration of the voyage.
• Each vessel must have the proper safety equipment (information will be sent out at a later date).
• Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult/legal guardian at all times.
• Zero alcohol and drug policy.

Yours in community,
