Canoe Kayak Canada hasn't added a story.

Achievement, Excellence, Collaboration, Integrity, Inclusion  

UPDATE!

Thanks to your support, we've raised just under 20% of our goal for our Freestyle Athlete Development Campaign!  We are excited to announce that we have received a matching donor for the campaign thanks to Windmill Development Group and CEO Jonathan Westeinde to help us reach our goal of $10,000. For every donation made, Windmill Development Group will match it 100% up to $5,000. Please consider supporting our goal to help fund the expansion of Freestyle paddling across the nation, bolstering coaching initiatives, and supporting our talented athletes.

THE CAMPAIGN

Freestyle Kayaking has strong roots in Canada. We hosted the first International Canoe Federation sanctioned World Championships in 2007.  Canada was a dominant nation in the sport for several years, culminating in 2015 where we had 3 athletes on the podium and 60% of our athletes in the semi-finals or higher at the World Championships.   Competition has significantly increased over the last seven years, with an expanded number of countries and athletes competing, and with top countries like the UK investing in dedicated coaching and facilities.  Canadian Freestyle development, coaching and athlete support are almost entirely self-funded.

The Canadian Freestyle Committee would like to raise money to invest more in the development of grassroots Freestyle kayaking across Canada, coaching support, development and athlete support.  The Canadian Freestyle team will be sending 21 athletes to compete in 2023 Worlds in Columbus, Georgia as well as planning for the next Worlds in 2025 in Plattling, Germany over the next 18 months and would appreciate your support!

THE GOAL

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to help us significantly expand our efforts in support of grassroots Freestyle development, coaching, coaching development and to better support our athletes.  

THE DETAILS

  • Funds raised as a result of this campaign will go directly towards making a significant contribution to our core costs, including Freestyle development across the country, coaching, coach development and athlete support.   This will enable the CKC Freestyle Committee to focus on establishing a sustainable funding model to cover our Enhanced Performance program
  • Contributions to the campaign over $20 are eligible for a tax receipt (please note that receipts will be issued post campaign)

ABOUT CKC'S PHILANTHROPIC INITIATIVES

Paddling is for all Canadians, whether they paddle for the leaf or for the sport.

We must continue our legacy – to ensure that paddling is available to everyone across our land so that they can experience our country in a way like no other. Paddling connects us to our history. But we’re at risk of not being able to pass down its rich tradition.

There is a crisis in sport funding in Canada. One of the major barriers in access to, promotion of, and programming in paddling is a lack of funding. But thanks to the generosity of Canadians, we can continue supporting paddling at all levels and disciplines within the sport. You can help us build paddling in Canada by making a tax-deductible charitable gift.

For the sport. For the leaf.

 

Please note, Canoe Kayak Canada is a Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association (RCAAA) meaning it has as its exclusive purpose and function, the promotion of amateur paddling in Canada. As such, Canoe Kayak Canada must operate under the rules and regulations related to these associations as set forth by the Canada Revenue Agency, Charities Directorate and their obligations under the Income Tax Act.

MISE À JOUR!

Merci à tous pour votre soutien, nous avons atteint un peu moins de 20 % de notre objectif pour notre campagne de développement des athlètes de style libre ! Nous sommes ravis d'annoncer que nous avons reçu un donateur jumelé pour la campagne grâce au Windmill Development Group et au PDG Jonathan Westeinde pour nous aider à atteindre notre objectif de 10 000 $. Pour chaque don effectué, Windmill Development Group égalera 100 % jusqu'à 5 000 $. Veuillez envisager de soutenir notre objectif d'aider à financer l'expansion du canotage libre à travers le pays, de renforcer les initiatives d'entraînement et de soutenir nos athlètes talentueux.

 

LA CAMPAGNE

Le kayak en style libre a de solides racines au Canada. Nous avons organisé les premiers Championnats du monde sanctionnés par la Fédération internationale de canoë (ICF) en 2007. Le Canada a été une nation dominante dans ce sport pendant plusieurs années, atteignant son apogée en 2015 avec trois athlètes sur le podium et 60 % de nos athlètes en demi-finale ou plus aux Championnats du monde. Depuis sept ans, la compétition s’est considérablement améliorée, avec un plus grand nombre de pays et d’athlètes en lice, et avec des pays de premier plan comme le Royaume-Uni qui investissent dans l’entraînement et les installations. Le développement, l'entraînement et le soutien aux athlètes de style libre canadien sont presque entièrement autofinancés.

 

Le Comité canadien de style libre aimerait amasser des fonds pour investir davantage dans le développement du kayak style libre de base à travers le Canada, le soutien aux entraîneurs, le développement et le soutien aux athlètes. L'équipe canadienne de style libre enverra 21 athlètes pour participer aux Mondiaux de 2023 à Columbus, en Géorgie, ainsi que pour planifier les prochains Mondiaux de 2025 à Plattling, en Allemagne, au cours des 18 prochains mois et apprécierait votre soutien !

 

L' OBJECTIF

Notre objectif est d'amasser 10 000 $ pour nous aider à étendre considérablement nos efforts en faveur du développement de base du style libre, de l'entraînement, du développement des entraîneurs et pour mieux soutenir nos athlètes.

 

LES DÉTAILS

  • Les fonds recueillis à la suite de cette campagne serviront directement à apporter une contribution importante à nos coûts de base, y compris le développement du style libre à travers le pays, l'entraînement, le développement des entraîneurs et le soutien aux athlètes. Cela permettra au comité de style libre de CKC de se concentrer sur l'établissement d'un modèle de financement durable pour couvrir notre programme de performance améliorée.
  • Les contributions à la campagne de plus de 20 $ sont éligibles pour un reçu fiscal (veuillez noter que les reçus seront émis après la campagne)

 

À PROPOS DES INITIATIVES PHILANTHROPIQUES DE CKC

Le pagayage est pour tous les Canadiens, qu'ils pagaient pour la feuille ou pour le sport.

Nous devons perpétuer notre héritage – veiller à ce que la pagaie soit accessible à tous sur notre territoire afin qu'ils puissent découvrir notre pays d'une manière sans pareille. Pagayer nous relie à notre histoire. Mais nous risquons de ne pas pouvoir transmettre sa riche tradition.

Il y a une crise du financement du sport au Canada. L'un des principaux obstacles à l'accès, à la promotion et à la programmation du canotage est le manque de financement. Mais grâce à la générosité des Canadiens, nous pouvons continuer à soutenir le canotage à tous les niveaux et dans toutes les disciplines du sport. Vous pouvez nous aider à développer le canotage au Canada en faisant un don caritatif déductible d'impôt.

Pour le sport. Pour la feuille.

 

Veuillez noter que Canoe Kayak Canada est une association canadienne enregistrée de sport amateur (ACESA), ce qui signifie qu’elle a pour but et fonction exclusifs de promouvoir le canotage amateur au Canada.
