#We are happy to announce a new partnership with PaddlingInstructor.com! Paddlinginstructor.com is a wonderful resource site for professional paddling instructors in Canada. In it's pages you'll find a community where instructors can share
teaching resources with each other (over 200 documents to date!). You are encouraged to submit your own resources in "Teaching Resources" section so other people can benefit from your
knowledge. There are lots of other features like
an 'Instructor Talk' forum,
paddling news & press releases from around the world,
videos, pictures,
event listings & calendar (you can submit your paddling event too!).
Canoe Instructors Wanted! It's present users are
mainly sea and river kayak instructors. We hope that can change that now
with this new partnership and encourage canoe instructors to participate in
sharing of 'Teaching Resources' and discussions with 'Online Forums'.
Registration is free so join today! Click on Login (top right of page and register as a new member!) More details to come soon as we work together on this new exciting partnership!
Why doesn't Paddle Canada have its own Instructor Resource Site? One of our visions is to develop our own site someday, however until we have the budget and the resources to do so, this partnership will hopefully serve that purpose for now.
