Help Us Build a Stronger Future – Support the North Bay Canoe Club
For over 50 years, the North Bay Canoe Club (NBCC) has been a cornerstone of our community, empowering youth to grow physically, mentally, and socially through the power of paddling. From canoeing and kayaking to ski, swim, and endurance training, our year-round programs help young people thrive—fostering teamwork, confidence, and resilience both on and off the water.
While we work hard to secure grants and rely on the generosity of our community, fundraising is essential to maintaining our programs, upgrading our facilities, and ultimately achieving our goal of long-term sustainability.

This is where you come in.
To continue delivering high-quality, accessible programming, we’re launching a fundraising campaign focused on building a stronger, more sustainable future for our club. Funds raised will support critical facility upgrades, improve accessibility, and help us keep program costs down - ensuring that more youth, regardless of background or ability, have the opportunity to participate and thrive.

Your donation will directly support:
• Clubhouse and Accessibility Upgrades
Renovating our clubhouse to create a safe, modern training hub while enhancing accessibility throughout the facility, allowing all athletes - regardless of physical ability - to participate fully.
• Reducing Barriers to Participation
Keeping membership and training costs affordable for all families, and offering athlete bursaries to ensure that financial limitations are never a barrier to sport.
• Replacing Aging Equipment
Updating our boats, paddles, and other training gear to improve performance and enhance safety for athletes of all levels.
• Sustaining High-Quality Coaching and Programs
Supporting our dedicated coaching team and allowing us to offer consistent, high-quality instruction and mentorship year-round.
• Expanding Inclusive Programming
Growing our “Paddle All” and Special Olympics initiatives, so athletes of all abilities have the chance to experience the joy of paddling in both recreational and competitive settings.
