Paddling Fun was started in 2012 once I earned my certification as a Paddling Instructor through ORCKA.  Since then I have earned instructor certifications in Canoe Tripping (CTI2), Voyageur Canoe (VCI2), Canadian Style Paddling (CSPI1), Coastal Kayak (CKI1), Bronze Medallion, Wilderness First Responder (WFR) and Basic Paddling Instructor-Trainer.  As I gained experience and qualifications, the business grew. 

 

Through ORCKA, Paddling Fun has $5 million in liability insurance.  Knowing this, many organizations trust Paddling Fun to train their staff and students.

​

I love meeting people from all over Ontario and teaching them the joy of paddling and canoe tripping.  I make it my mission to provide memorable, safe experiences for all participants.  In 2023 I purchased a Voyageur Canoe for the business. It is taking me in new directions!

When I’m not busy on the water,  I spend time Teaching English as a Second Language.  I am certified with TESL Ontario and teach locally, at Fleming College and the New Canadians Centre, and abroad online.  I work with The Land Canadian Adventures,  bringing International Students to Canada to teach them English and paddling.  Take a look at what I offer and get in touch if think you might want to work with me.  I can’t wait to show you and your group how to have Paddling Fun!
