Truly, a dream come true!! There are SO many wonderful people to thank for making this facility possible:

• Our family and friends who have been so encouraging and helpful for all these years, especially a very patient & generous husband/PICC boat doctor;
• The paddling community who welcomed us with open arms, and gave us many helping hands, East-Enders who welcomed a new sport into their neighbourhood, and gave our canoe club a chance;
• Our lovely MP, Marie-France Lalonde, for her constant support for the canoe club since even before day 1, and for her help on this boathouse project specifically;
