You are welcome to bring your child as long as they stay on the board with you at all times & wear a life jacket.

BRING YOUR OWN GEAR

If you don’t own a board or boat, there are several places to rent in Calgary & online options like Fat Llama (https://fatllama.com/ca), etc. Life jackets highly recommended on board **This is a community event, not a class or a learn-to-paddle session. Please know how to set up your own board/boat & take precaution for your own water safety and be comfortable in the water should you fall in.**
