Petrie Island Canoe Club will close on November 1, 2026, unless we raise $78,000.
The most useful thing you can do is ask 5 people directly. A message from you does more than any post from the club. It takes 2 minutes.
1. Think of 5 people
- A grandparent, aunt or uncle
- A neighbour
- A co-worker or your boss
- A friend whose kids have been to camp
- Someone you paddled or played sports with
2. Think of 1 sentence
Why does the club matter to you? One real sentence from you is what gets people to give. For example:
- My daughter learned to paddle there.
- It's where our kids spend every summer.
- I've made some of my best friends at this club.
3. Send them a message
Choose how. The message is already written. Before you send, add the person's name and swap in your own sentence where it says the club matters to your family.

The text, WhatsApp and Messenger buttons work on your phone. Messenger only lets us send the link, so type your own message with it.
4. Do it again tomorrow
5 people a day until November 1. Thank you.

Hi,
Petrie Island Canoe Club will close on November 1 unless it raises $78,000.
This club matters a lot to my family. More than 230 kids went to camp there this summer, and I don't want to see it go.
Will you donate? Even $25 helps.

Thank you.
