Maskwa Takes Bonze at Nationals in Men's K-4 1000m & updates


It started out raining, but now the sun is shining. Lots of paddlers are enjoying their last day on the lake. Today at 3pm we’re doing a final movie afternoon and it’s the first Harry Pottery movie.

For updates on how things are going with our Maskwa team at Nationals please check out canoewelland.ca.

I just found out that Maskwa’s Juvenile K4 won the Bronze at Nationals in the 1000 meter. Pictured (l-r) Jesse Scott, Matthew Beaver, Nathan MacKinnon and Benjamin Kendall showing off their Bronze medals. Way to go guys!

Today is the last Maskwa BBQ and the canteen’s last day also. I have received many inquiries about next week and wanted to clarify a few things.

1. Today is the last day for all paddling/swimming/kiddie kayak lessons

2. Last day for Canteen is today - it will be closed all next week

3. Adventure Recreational Day Camp is open all next week from 9am-4pm as scheduled and paddling will be from 11am-12:30pm and then again from 1pm-2:30pm.

4. The club, meaning Heritage Hall, will be open from 9am-5pm.

5. Lifeguards are on duty starting Saturday until Labour day from 12noon-5pm.

6. High Performance Training for all paddlers interested (meaning any Atom, Peewee, Bantam & Midget paddlers) starts Wed., Aug 31 from 4:30pm-6pm. If interested please come to the office so your payment can be processed and you can be added to the HP list.
