Location: Rock Point Park
Event Date: August 11, 2024
Event Time: 0900h to 1700h

Another successful paddling event held to support the Big Brothers & Big Sisters Organizations. We rented 4 double kayaks for the whole day (0900h to 1700h) from Rocky Point Kayak. We finally saw some sunshine this year with temperatures ranging from 16 deg. C to 21 deg. C. compared to cooler temperatures in the previous years.

We ran 3 shifts at 0900h – 1200h – 1500h where we hosted a total of 10 pairs of kids with their Big Brother/ Big Sisters counterparts.

Many thanks to the many SKABC volunteers who contributed to the success of the event and the countless others who offered to assist.
