Don’t miss The Great Canadian Kayak Challenge & Festival in Timmins, Ontario, this August 28 to 30—it’s the biggest money kayak event in Canada! Last year more than $12,000 in prize money was awarded. From Elite to Novice to Celebrity, there’s a race category to suit every type of paddler.
In this video, we catch up with Timmims’ tourism manager, Guy Lamarche, at the Toronto Outdoor Adventure Show to find out what’s new this year.
In addition to the races, the large city festival includes arts and music performances, children’s activities and hot air ballon rides. The festival also features a half-hour fireworks display and camping is free for paddlers.
