Visiting Athletes

This program is well suited for High Performance athletes who are temporarily based in the area, perhaps for work commitments or to attend post-secondary school, and would like to continue training under guidance of a Head Coach. If you are a member in good standing of another CKC sanctioned club, you are welcome to participate in Banook Canoe Club's High Performance program on a monthly basis. Speak with the Head Coach for more information.

All athletes are required to practice in their assigned group and time.

Happy paddling!
