Next up on the CORA Sanctioned Eastern Canada outrigger canoe events for 2025 is the Fall Classic in Ottawa on October 11, 2025 (Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend, so that you can work up an appetite for Canadian Thanksgiving dinner) hosted by Rideau Outrigger Racing Club. This event will be a small-boat 11.5KM time trial out and back race down the picturesque Rideau Canal UNESCO World Heritage site.

As a CORA Sanctioned Event and a CORA Eastern Canada CORA Cup Series Event, the Fall Classic is eligible for various CORA funding. For event / registration information, please contact Mark Singer at Rideau Outrigger Racing Club.

It’s back, and better than ever for 2025!
Fort Langley Canoe Club invites you to join us October 25, 2025, at the Fall Small, a small boat race to help welcome in the Fall!
It features a new venue – we’ll launch from the Derby Reach Regional Park, 21801 Allard Crescent,
Langley Township. It’s an especially great spot for launching your small boat and there is lots of free
parking.
Along with the new venue, there will be a new course, which will pit you against the mighty Fraser River,
up- and downstream. You will be able to paddle amongst the sturgeon and salmon while bald eagles sail
overhead, and, onshore, deer, beaver and the occasional black bear cheer you on.
Don’t put your small boat away for the winter until you’ve raced in the Fall Small! All types of paddling-
propelled small craft are welcome, including OC1, OC2, V1, surfski, kayaks, K1 and K2, marathon
canoes, SUP’s, etc.
Come join us and help make the Fall Small big!

CORA invites you to join our Town Hall on Sunday 2025-Oct-19 at 4PM Pacific Time for a forum highlighting Kelowna Paddle Centre (KPC) youth programs. Kelowna Paddle Centre has developed youth programs that have seen Kelowna Paddle Centre youth paddlers competing successfully at CORA racing events as well as IVF World Championship events. Kelowna Paddle Centre has events / programs specifically directed toward youth. The Kelowna Paddle Centre Junior Racing Program runs from April through September with a focus on outrigger canoe racing. The Kelowna Paddle Centre Summer Paddling Camps provide a range of paddling activities for children and teens. This forum will be led by various Kelowna Paddle Centre members with topics such as fundraising, recruitment, retention and coaching. This will be a forum for our audience across Canada to engage with Kelowna Paddle Centre and other clubs.

This will be an opportunity for clubs that already have in place or who are building youth outrigger canoeing programs, to share insights, put forward questions, and communicate what resources would be beneficial to youth outrigger canoeing programs for the 2026 season.
