Join us on Sunday, December 18th from 2-4pm for a FREE Pre-holidays “Winter” Social Paddle.

Have you always wanted to try winter kayaking? Now’s your chance!
Please come properly prepared for the cold weather (and colder water). We will be paddling a sheltered route, close to shore, and will be playing it safer than normal due to the chilly conditions.
As always, if you don’t have your own kayak, you can rent one for $20.00, includes kayak, PFD, paddle, and safety gear. Appropriate clothing is your responsibility.
Please let us know in advance if you plan to attend.
This event is weather-dependant. If the water freezes before the 18th, we will not be holding the paddle. If there are high winds, heavy snow, or other unsafe weather, we will cancel the event.
Please remember that this is a WINTER paddle and you should come dressed appropriately.
PLEASE RSVP YOUR ATTENDANCE WHETHER YOU ARE RENTING OR NOT!

WHAT’S NEW AT GRANDRIVERKAYAK.CA ?

What’s NOT new? The entire website has been redesigned from the bottom up to
enhance our customer’s experience and make finding information quick and easy.
It’s a total facelift!

We now have an interactive online Calendar, so that you can browse for dates
for specific tours, lesson, or events. Link directly from the Calendar event to
the description of the tour or lesson with expanded information and photos.

Under the “About Us” tab you’ll find a “Virtual Tour” of the store and
property, and a “Customer Testimonials” page where you can leave comments and
feedback.

There’s a tab for “News” where you will find the latest news postings about
happenings here at Grand River Kayak, as well as a link to my blog “the grand river
kayaker” where I am posting kayak and gear reviews as well as musings and
ramblings related to all things kayaking.
Of the course the BIG NEWS is the launch of our online store! Here you can find all the boats, paddles, clothing and gear we carry in the shop. Keep an eye on

the e-store for new product launches, SALES, and an expanding offering of
products and services you can purchase directly through the website.

We’ve also added all the latest social marketing connections, allowing you to
share anything on our site to your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon,
and more. The “Wibiya” bar at the bottom of the site also allows users to
translate the site into different languages.

The top item in the sidebar to the right of the page is a “Search” box. Input
any search term and find posts, pages, events, etc. on the Grand River Kayak
website that contains your search term.

Quick glances along the sidebar will also show “Upcoming Events” for a sample
of events on the Calendar, and “ON SALE NOW” for a glimpse of products current
on sale.

Besides the website itself, we’ve been working on the 2012 Program, and we’re
planning to add more social paddles, an intermediate-level Rescue course, a
Canada Day Fireworks tour in Caledonia, PLUS we’re planning to take “Intro to
Kayak” on the road! Stay tuned to see if we’ll be visiting a community near you
in 2012.

WHAT’S NEXT ?

We’re working on a community forum, so paddlers will have a place to chat,
organize paddling outings, and post their own trip reviews.

We’re expanding our listings of local places to eat, places to stay and other
things to do, for customers coming in from out of the area, to help you plan
your day (or stay) while you are here kayaking with us.
