🌅 2026 Summer Solstice Paddle & BBQ — Perfect for the Whole Family! 🌅

Looking for a fun, relaxed way to get the family out on the water? There is no better way to welcome the start of summer than watching the sunset right from the river—complete with a BBQ on the docks!

Join us on Tuesday, June 23rd from 7:00 PM to 9:15 PM for a late evening paddle on one of the longest days of the year. We know it’s not actually the solstice date, but since so many of our members are competing in the Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival that weekend, we are celebrating on Tuesday instead!

This event is open to all club members and brand-new participants. If you've been wanting to try paddling or introduce your kids to the sport, this is the perfect, low-pressure evening to get out on the water together.

🌭 The Food:
We've got an $8.00 BBQ combo available (Burger/Hot Dog, Chips or Cookie, and a drink).

🎟 Registration details:

ORCC Members: Free to register! (Grab the BBQ combo as an add-on).

Non-Members / New Participants: $15.00 (Includes your paddling spot and the BBQ combo!).

Whether you're a regular on the water or bringing the kids out for their very first paddle, everyone is welcome. Secure your spot and reserve your food ahead of time so we can get an accurate headcount.

👉 Register & RSVP here: https://events.ottawarivercanoe.com/events/summersolstice

See you and the family on the river! 👋

The racing season has officially kicked off with a BANG for some of ORCC’s Sprint paddlers.

This weekend, Ontario Team Trials took place at the Welland International Flatwater Centre, where 12 of our athletes represented the orange and blue with pride, enthusiasm, and grit - as they took on heavy winds, cold temperatures, and tough competition.

Thank you for organizing the event. And thank you to all the staff and volunteers who made it possible!

Next Stop: National Team Trials #2, Montreal, QC
