Ontario Paddlers / International Supporters

Here we are planning to introduce the Paddlers and their future Chapters that are now in progress in Ontario. We are hoping for some good results considering the large number of Paddlers and their friends in this Province.

We will temporailly be adding our International Paddlers to this page as well. Everyone will eventually have there own page, promoting their events. As always a work in progress.
