Founded: 2022 – proposed
Team type/Race division: Senior D (Ages 70+) training for men and women

About the team: Who says you must retire at 70? A growing number of veteran VI Paddling members have reached this age milestone, but aren’t ready to hang up their paddles. With clubs in Vancouver and Toronto experiencing similar trends, VI Paddling is hoping to launch a new Senior D program in 2021. If you’re 70+ and like the idea of training with a group of your peers to trailblaze a new division at the Canadian National Championships, we’d love to hear from you!

Festivals attended: To be determined

Recruiting?: Yes – recruiting both men and women ages 70+. No paddling experience required, but comfort around boats and the water encouraged.
