50th Annual Credit River races. March 29 & 30 2008 Co-hosted by the Ontario Voyageurs Kayak club and the Virtual Voyageurs Canoe club



The Down River is Saturday Barbertown rd. to Erindale Park. Grade 2&3 The Slalom on Sunday at Streetsville Memorial park. Grade 1 & 2

We have a dinner planned for the Saturday night at 6pm with the emphasis being a tribute to those that started this all up.

In an attempt to keep the dinner prices down we are searching for a sponsor for the Dinner.Right now we are pricing the dinner at $25.00 per person.


If we could get a donation of $500.00 we can drop the price to $20.00 Neither group is in this to make money (just break even) or donate the profits to a deserving group (we have several in mind) One from our group is already talking to the Toronto stores for supporting the races so we do not want to duplicate the effort there.

Or if you have something you can give for a door prize or silent auction it would be appreciated.

We have a website setup where we will post the info and will update it as soon as he gets back from his Holidays (March 7) and you should be able to register there.

We need to number for the dinner by March 21.
If you wish to help we will be hanging the course on the Friday @ 9am

Whitewater Ontario is hosting the 2008 Open Canoe Slalom Nationals this year at the Gull River in Minden. It has been held in the US for the last few years. This is a great event with the best paddlers coming from all over North America. If you have never been to the Gull, this is the time to come. The course has gravel walkways up and down both sides for terrific viewing. Better yet, enter and have even more fun.

More details to come.
