Please see below information regarding upcoming CKO Sprint events and activities.  If you have any questions, please let me know.

CKO Sprint/CKBC British Columbia Training Camp
In partnership with Canoe Kayak BC, CKO Sprint will be hosting a training camp in Burnaby, BC.  Due to the increased public health measures for the Vancouver area in effect until November 23rd, we are delaying the release of the information package until after that date.  Based on updated regulations, we will modify our plan ensuring a safe training environment for all camp participants.

CKO Sprint's 2020-2024 Strategic Plan
Over the winter we conducted a comprehensive program and services review which provided the framework for our draft 2020-2024 Strategic Plan (found here).  We are asking all stakeholders (athletes, coaches, clubs, officials and volunteers) to review the plan and provide feedback to ryan@ckosprint.ca by November 30, 2020.  Thank you in advance for your support. 

Ontario Power Ranking Challenge & Professional Development
Similar to our summer challenges, we are hosting monthly virtual challenges for our community to test their physical performance and compete with paddlers across the province.  In addition, we will continue with our Webinar Series by providing monthly professional development sessions for the paddling community.  For more information visit our November Power Ranking Challenge and Webinar Series pages. 

All the best,
