Paddle Canada Canoe Certification Courses

​
​Why book with us?
 
​

HeLa Ventures has been a leader in the canoeing industry for over 30 years. All of our Moving Water courses are overseen by Brett Pawlyk, who is a Paddle Canada Moving Water Canoe Advanced Instructor Trainer and a member of Paddle Canada's professional development committee.  All Lake courses are overseen by Lana Madsen, a veteran of over 30 years in the industry and also a member of the Paddle Canada board. This means you will learn the most current paddling and teaching techniques. There is always a minimum of 2 instructors on each course, which ensures more access to the instructors and time on water. 


2023 course info will be available in the new year.
