Support Our Club
We are a local, not-for-profit organization powered by the passion of our community. Help us keep paddling safe, inclusive, and accessible for everyone on the South Georgian Bay.
Where Do Your Funds Go?
The Watts Boathouse
Maintaining and securing our historic compound on the Collingwood Harbourfront to ensure a safe environment for our youth and adult members.
Fleet Maintenance & Expansion
Sprint kayaks, canoes, and dragon boats endure a lot of wear and tear. Funds help us repair existing boats and purchase new, safer equipment for our growing teams.
Inclusive Programming
Supporting programs like Paddle All (Special Olympics) and subsidizing costs for youth athletes who otherwise couldn’t afford to participate.
Powered By Our Community
Since 2004, the Collingwood Paddling Club has been dedicated to getting people on the water. As a local not-for-profit, we rely on membership fees to cover our basic operational costs. However, to truly grow, improve our historic facilities, and purchase the specialized equipment required for our sports, we rely on community fundraising and the generous support of local businesses.
Water sports can be expensive, but we believe financial barriers should never keep a child off the water. Your support helps us keep our program fees as low as possible, ensuring that everyone in Collingwood has the opportunity to paddle.
