Accessible Canoe and Kayak Launches in Manitoba
Manitoba Paddling Association
The Manitoba Paddling Association welcomes people of all ages and abilities to participate in kayaking, canoeing and dragon boating. The Manitoba Canoe and Kayak Centre and the Winnipeg and Selkirk Canoe Kayak Centre have installed accessible canoe and kayak launches. Access to the dock is steep and may require some additional assistance to navigate, as well there is not an accessible washroom at the club.
Equipment is available to be rented for a drop in fee of $10 or a family fee (up to 6 people) of $15.
The Winnipeg club has Paralympic kayaks for members or registered camp participants to use. While there is not an accessible program, if you are interested in joining, please email mpa@sportmanitoba.ca and they will do their best to accommodate you.
For more information and to learn about the current clubs, you can visit their website at www.mpa.mb.ca
