Canoe Trips and Other Outings
Flatwater and whitewater canoe trips and other outings are organized by members for members, including day trips to local rivers, multi-day canoeing & camping and wilderness expeditions. They represent one of our core values. Love to paddle but need company? Not sure about going down that river by yourself? Never been wilderness camping? You've come to the right place!
See the list of scheduled trips on the Outings page.

| Wilderness Canoe Symposium 15-16 Feb, 2013
George Luste, a long time WCA member, has been organizing this mid winter gathering of kindred spirits, with help from WCA volunteers, for the past 26 years. The event is wildly popular with 500 to 700 people attending it every year. Eighteen speakers cover amazing topics, with emphasis being on northern Quebec and Ungava this year. However, we try to cover other areas of the far north as well, always looking for variety. |

| Training
Teaching our members new skills is another core value: paddling improvement, whitewater clinics, river safety & rescue, wilderness first aid all enhance safety, competence and enjoyment. |
