What’s up CUKCers
Hope everyone’s summer is going well, and that everyone is getting in some good paddling!
If your currently in the Ottawa Region and would like to go paddling email our community @ trips2010@lists.cukc.ca and will get you boating 
As much as everyone hates to hear this, summer is starting to wind down, BUT, that means that the club will be up and running again in full flight!!! So here are four quick updates to let you know what we are up to and to invite everyone to some events.
1) Summer lessons: Summer lessons are still running on Tuesdays and Thursdays at Mooney’s Bay Beach at 6pm. They are $20 per person and will help new paddlers get themselves onto the water and learn basic paddling skills and learn how to roll. If you are interested email events@cukc.ca
2) 7 Sisters Trip: For the first time as a club, we will be running a Seven Sisters trip. If you don’t know what the seven sisters are: well they are a series of 7 waterfalls of varying heights on the Rouge River in Quebec. The trip will be taking place during the weekend of August 21st and 22nd. This trip will be for ADVANCE paddlers only. Unfortunately we cannot take any beginners as the risks associated with the river would be too great. Anyone who is interested please email events@cukc.ca and we will keep you in the loop for planning. For more background info about the sisters.http://www.liquidlore.com/quebec/rouge/7sisters.html
3) King of the Clubs: The second annual King of the Clubs weekend will be held again at the Ottawa River during the weekend of September 4th and 5th with the competition taking place on the Sunday.This is a really fun event with many other paddling clubs from across Ontario and is for all skill levels. So if you want to come out and have a great time fill out our online form . For more info please see our event page ‘King of the Clubs“.
4) CUKC Fall Trip: Last but not least, CUKC will be holding its annual Fall Trip to the Ottawa River. This is a whole weekend event and will be taking place September 24th, 25th and 26th. Last year we had a great turn out and we are hoping for another great trip. This trip is again for any skill level, we especially encourage beginners, and we will be hosting world class instructors again for all the beginners on the trip. So if you want to come out and have a great time fill out our online form . For more info please see our event page ‘CUKC Weekend on the Ottawa River“.
Other than that, enjoy the rest of your summer! And CUKC wishes you happy paddling.
