Something for Everyone this Spring
by LauReL aRcheR
March was a super-busy racing month on Canada's
west coast. Every weekend there was an event, and
sometimes two, with an assortment of races for paddlers of all kinds!
March 1st was Kan-u-hak-it, a favorite of Vancouver

Memorial Small Boat Races. Melanie Conard reported: 39 paddlers braved the cold to raise money for
the Vancouver Island Crisis Society. The event kicked
off with a 10-m iron small boat race followed by a
4-lap relay race for mixed OC1 teams. Yummy, warm
food, provided by the Gorge Club and great company
helped fight off the chill of the day. Thanks to the
generosity of Fairway Gorge Paddling Club, Saint
Michael's University School, Gorge Outrigger, Fuel,
Zen Sushi, Blue Giraffe and donations from many
club paddlers every penny of the $835.00 raised will
be donated to an important charity helping people in
need of support on Vancouver Island. This was the
second annual race in memorial of Rick Nu'u.
Saturday, March 8th, False Creek Canoe Club of
Vancouver hosted Race #5 of the CORA/PNWORCA Winter Small Boat Race Series. The 10-km OC1,
OC2, Surfski and SUP race in Burrard Inlet was well

The next weekend it poured on racers in Nanaimo.
