Coaching and Officiating
Volunteering and Getting on Boards
Volunteers and executive board members are the reason why you were able to enjoy being paddler! As a CKO Sprint alumni, we want to encourage athletes to give back to the sport by volunteering and having a voice on boards.
As a CKO Sprint alumni, your experience and knowledge is very valuable on executive boards. Joining a board with you local canoe club, province, or federation is a great contribution to the paddling community and an easy way for you to give back to the sport!
