📣 SAVE THE DATE — Pulling Together Canoe Journey 2026 🛶

Mark your calendars, canoe families!

This year’s Pulling Together Canoe Journey will take place August 15th–23rd, 2026 in the Lower Mainland.

While we aren’t able to share further details just yet, our planning committee is working diligently and respectfully, following proper protocols to prepare for this year’s journey. We wanted to ensure canoe families have ample time to begin planning and preparing for their participation.

If your canoe family is interested in taking part this year, we kindly ask that you share your interest with the Society.

Please note: this is not canoe family registration at this time — it is simply an expression of interest to help with early planning.

More information will be shared as it becomes available. We look forward to coming together on the water once again. 🌊
