Hello CUKCers!!!
First we would like to thank everyone for the huge amount of interest in the club that we are recieving this year!! Its been a wonderful 1.5 months and we intend to keep it that way. We try and accomodate everyone as best we can, but we have had to turn away a lot of people from our pool sessions recently. Thus, in an effort to get everyone out to try the sport CUKC will be running TWO POOL SESSIONS per week now! Yes you heard correctly, two pool sessions! We will be running our regular session at 6:30- 8pm on Saturday October 22nd. Our SECOND session will be Sunday October 23rd, 7:00pm – 8:30pm. Please make sure you pay attention this time to which session you are signing up for. Everything will run as per the usual for both sessions…..and MAKE SURE to arrive 15min before the start of the session.
To sign up for the Saturday Session please fill out this online form.
To sign up for the Sunday session please fill out this online form.
As a note: you may sign up to both sessions or just one, but the goal for us is to try and accomodate everyone the best we can to get you out to the pool! Email confirmations will again be sent out around Wednesday. Also, there are packages still available to be bought, and for more information on the pool sessions please follow this link: http://cukc.ca/pool-sessions.
Lastly, HOODDDDIES AND T-SHIRTS!!! Yes this year CUKC is making available both hoodies and tshirts to order. To order your own and for all the information on them please go to the form. Pictures of the hoodies will be posted on the form, but as for t-shirts we are still in the process of designing them and we will get the pictures up as soon as possible.
And that’s it for this week!

Holla CUKCers
So I hope you’re all having a happy and safe thanksgiving, being thankful for all you’ve got, and mowing down on some delicious bird right now!
Its Sunday so its E-mail time.
First thing’s first. Registration for our second pool session open is now open. Sign up now at cukc.ca/signup. Seems like this year if you want to make on the list for sure then you need to sign up early! like now! do it now! As always we offer up lessons in Intro and Rolling, $5 for students (Alumni included) $10 non-students. Check out our everything you need to know page.
A couple more things, So the ORR (Ottawa River Runners) need a clubhouse because right now well they kind lack facilities if you get what I’m saying. Their hope is to get a clubhouse so that they can expand what they offer to the broader community. Its a pretty great cause, so it would be sweet if everyone could take some time and vote for them so that they could win the $100,000 they need to get this thing going. Check out some more information about them and what they hope to do – http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf11842 You can vote daily so make it part of your daily routine!
That’s it that’s all for this week.

Hi again CUKCer’s
As we all start to settle in the routine get used to these weekly e-mails!
For this week’s e-mail, well to be honest there is not much going on, it’s going to be a quick read.
CUKC’s 4th Annual White Water Weekend was a blast and fun for all skill levels of paddlers. This year was by far our biggest and most successful event ever. Thank you to everyone who helped out. Here’s the article everyone has been waiting for: Fall Trip Wrap Up
There will be no pool session this week due to it being the thanksgiving weekend. So you can all go home to your families and be thankful for pool sessions. Sign up for the next pool session will open next Sunday!
On a different note, CUKC will be doing another wave of clothing orders. In the past years we stuck to hoodys and they worked out progressively better each year. This year will be the same thing. We will be having a hoody order but what we’re changing is you can pick any colour hoody you would like. Also new this year, we are going to have CUKC T-shirts. We still need to settle on a design for the T-shirts but rest assured that what ever we decide to put on the T-shirts it will reek of awesomess! Hoodies are $30, prices on t-shirts are not yet set but will be standard t-shirt price. Also if you have any other clothing ideas let us know and we can try and get it done for you!
That wraps up this week’s e-mail
Keep it real CUKC

Wassup CUKCers
So first off gang, this week’s e-mail is a day late. Usually you can expect them to be coming on Sunday nights. Today’s e-mail is special because as you may or may not know the club came back from our Fall Trip last night and there was no way any of us had the energy to send off the e-mail! so now that a little we’ve gained a little bit of that energy back here’s this weeks e-mail!
Pool Session Season is now here! Our first pool session is happening this Saturday (Oct 1st). The best way to get out and learn is to start early! As like the years before we will be offering Intro and Rolling lessons. Click here to find out everything you need to know. Since this is our first pool session of the season most of you will have to pay membership fees, $5 for students and $10 for non students, unless you were on the fall trip then your membership fees have already been covered! so we better be seeing you! Sign up opens tonight at 6:00 pm – CUKC.ca/signup
Pool Session’s cost $10 a session plus $5 a lesson, $10 for non students.
There will also be 3 packages available which include membership fees, and here’s what they are:
$100 gets you an unlimited amount of pool sessions – there are 24 pool sessions this year!
$75 gets you 10 pool sessions
$40 gets you 5 pool sessions
There are limited amounts of packages that we offer so let us know a.s.a.p if you want a package.
One last thing! This past weekend we had the CUKC annual Fall Trip, and as amazing as it was a bunch of people left behind a bunch of stuff! We’ve got jackets, bags, and some other stuff that people left behind! so if you think you lost something send us an e-mail letting us know what you’re missing and we’ll let you know if we have it and then we can return it to you! hooray for getting stuff back!
That’s it for this week.
Keep on Keepin’ on

Hello to you all!
So there are only a few bits of knowledge in this weeks e-mail that we’re gonna throw your way. First off, this is going out to all of you out there who plan on attending the Fall trip this September 23rd – 25th, Confirmation’s are going out tomorrow. So if you haven’t signed up yet, do it NOW! tonight is the last night to register for the trip. Payments will be collected this Wednesday at our Mooney’s Bay Session (More on that further down). If you miss the session shoot us an e-mail and we can sort out a time for collection.
Additionally, keeping in theme with the Fall Trip. Gear such as boats, pfd’s, helmets and all that sort of stuff is reserved for those who are taking the beginner lesson for the weekend. Those of you with more experience and plan on tagging along with those boaters who are gonna lead a trip down the river are RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN GEAR! (we will send out emails to those people) that means you’ll need to rent a boat and all that stuff from The Paddleshack (but its time you invest in your own gear – you guys know who you are!). CUKC will also help you get the rental gear, just contact us and we’ll help set you up.
As for the Mooney’s bay session, CUKC will be having a Mooney’s Bay Session this Wednesday from 5:00 – 7:00 pm, there will be two 1 hour sessions. If you plan on coming send us an e-mail at events@cukc.ca, just so we have an idea of numbers. There will be no confirmation e-mail in response so once you e-mail us about it you’re in. Everyone is welcome to come out, but if you’re coming out to the fall trip then you are highly encouraged to make it out! We’ll be going over some basics about kayaking and this will make it a whole lot easier for you guys once you’re actually out on the river come the Fall Trip!
That’s it That’s all for this weeks e-mail.
Keep it Real CUKC
Love
Your CUKC Execs!
