We are a group of diversely skilled paddlers who come together to share our knowledge and experiences in the planning of paddles from our home base of Salt Spring Island. We often rely on the shared experiences of paddlers within our group as we assist in planning excursions further afield. We are collegial and social and completely run by volunteers relying on the participation of our members to support all aspects of our group.
During the fall and winter we hold meetings to promote safe paddling, discuss past paddles, organise future paddles, and learn about the natural history of the region and how to maintain boats and gear.
- This website is dedicated to the support of Salt Spring Island Paddlers and their paddling.
- If you are interested in our group, come to a Meeting or feel free to Contact Us .
If you are a member, interested in getting on the water for a paddle, and would like some company.
Submit your suggestion using the

- For very short notice paddles use the Paddlers Google Group
if available please include:
- date & time

Joining our group entitles you to access and propose paddles, access other paddler contact information, borrow group equipment and shared resources, and most importantly be part of a keen group of supportive individuals to share your paddling interest.
