Victoria Canoe & Kayak Club (VCKC) upcoming events

Tippy T's - Canoes (30 Jun 2026)

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

I am going to be paddling solo and tandem canoes on Tuesday and Thursdays evenings (5:00 to 7:00 pm) for the remainder of June and all of July.

The tides are flooding under the Tillicum bridge so am taking advantage of the varying current speeds to practice in moving water.

Great practice for eddy turns, attaining, bracing and rescues.

I'd like to extend the offer to other club members, who have the Moving Water Course, to come out and join me.

Love to have a mix of novice and experienced paddlers. BYO PFD and paddle if you have them as Tuesdays are also a busy night for dragon boaters.

No need to register, just show up!

Thanks,

Strawberry Tea - Gorge Canada Day 2026 (01 Jul 2026)

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 20:30:00 GMT

The Gorge Canada Day Picnic is full steam ahead for 2026.

The Strawberry Tea is full cream ahead, serving from 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.

Strawberries will be served on cake with coffee, tea, or lemonade for $7 per person.

It is a small increase from last year, because we are sourcing local strawberries instead of donated ones from the US.

Bring cash - unfortunately, electronic payments are unreliable at the location.

Enjoy the delightful treat at this Saanich heritage home in Gorge Waterway Park, which serves as the clubhouse for the Victoria Canoe & Kayak Club. It's at 355 Gorge Road West.
