Kelowna Paddle Centre (KPC) is a community-driven, public initiative. Collaboration with the City of Kelowna, general public and members of the paddling community has resulted in KPC being a central component of the future of the Pandosy Waterfront Project.
KPC aims to promote an active, healthy lifestyle, love of sport and appreciation and respect for our waterways by providing affordable options for all members of the community, in a safe and welcoming environment. With a central location in close proximity to city transit and bike paths, our sport brings people into close contact with the urban wilderness waterways.
Membership has risen from 27 in 2013 to 250 in 2017. In addition, we have also had over 500 adults and youth participating in public programs. With a diverse membership which includes World Championship medalists, National Team Members and Pan American Champions, along with several certified coaches, we are uniquely suited to effectively and safely deliver the wide range of programs for all ages and abilities. By bringing more people to paddling, KPC will also increase non-motorized, low noise, low impact activities on the Okanagan Lake, reducing negative environmental impacts and increasing user safety on both land and water.
We consider paddling the ultimate Canadian outdoor activity, that encourages respect for water and weather, while providing a whole body workout for your novice recreational paddler through to World and Olympic Champions. Paddling allows for seamless cross over between Canoe and Kayak to Stand Up Paddleboarding or Dragon Boating. KPC offers equipment and lessons, and endeavours to expose our community, as well as our neighbouring cities, to all possibilities for Paddle Sport.
