Celebrating over of recreational paddling in British Columbia

The Dogwood Canoe Club is a group of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities who share a love of paddling, the outdoors and a respect for the environment.

We paddle solo and tandem canoes and kayaks on flat water, moving water, white water, oceans, estuaries, lakes, and ponds. A number of our members sail canoes. Organized trips are planned from March to November. In the winter months you will find many of us skiing the hills or at the pool trying to nail that roll. In the winter we have a small number of planned flat water and white water trips to choose from.

Membership includes free training, monthly newsletter, social activities, monthly meetings with slide shows and refreshments, and a whole lot of paddling fun.

If you live in Vancouver or area and love paddling, come and paddle with us.

Over the years since 1964, the club has received achievement awards for outstanding and faithful services to the community for its involvement with community service clubs and special projects.

What Do We Do The main focus of the Dogwood Canoe Club is paddling. We have a full calendar of a variety of trips for members to participate in.
