Welcome to the Burloak Canoe Club for 2015! You're joining a community of athletes
and families that are passionate about keeping fit and pursuing athletic success through
canoeing and kayaking. Whether you're new to paddling or an experienced athlete at
any level and age, Burloak will provide you the opportunity to have fun, physically test
yourself and meet new friends. You’ll also benefit from some of the best coaches and
programs in our sport.
The past year saw members of our club compete at all levels, from elementary
programs to the highest national and international competitions. As a club, we
celebrated the amazing success of members, including our team’s second place finish
at the Canadian National Sprint Canoe Kayak Championships in Regina. 50 Burloak
athletes (7% of total competitors) won medals in 30% of the races! Our senior paddlers,
including Olympians like Adam Van Koeverden, Mark Oldershaw, Brady Reardon and
others, continue to inspire many of our younger paddlers to improve their skills and
fitness!
Along with our top-notch programs, our friendly atmosphere and welcoming members,
we want to provide a chance to form lasting friendships. We invite you to join us. In this
booklet, you’ll find information on our programs, membership details, costs,
expectations, ways to learn and contribute, volunteer opportunities, and details on
regattas, social activities and our plans for the year.
If you have additional questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us, or visit

Description
2001-2003
This four-week program introduces new paddlers to
the sport of sprint canoe/kayak through the iconic
Canadian racing boat, the war canoe. At the end of
the program there will be a low-pressure race at a
regatta in Mississauga, a perfect environment for firsttime competitors. This is a non-membership program
with no commitment outside the 4 weeks, but special
rates are offered for those who decide to continue into
our full Elementary program (see a program rep for
details).

For both experienced and inexperienced paddlers
(see a program rep about introductory scheduling

group environment, mixing with other groups when
appropriate. Paddlers will be able to compete in
appropriate age-class regattas and championships

What does it mean to be a member of the Burloak Canoe Club? When you join the Burloak Canoe Club, you join a community of athletes and families that are passionate about keeping fit by canoeing and kayaking. Not only do you benefit from top quality coaching and programs, but you also have the opportunity to form lasting friendships. The best way to quickly become a part of the Burloak community is to get involved. Working together through volunteering, fundraising, clubhouse maintenance and social events keeps the Club healthy and viable. We've been able to keep our membership fees competitive by relying once again on Fundraising and Sponsorship. The Board of Directors has studied the Budget and the Summer Fee Schedule in accordance with our Vision 2018 Strategic Plan, which states: Conduct a review of BCC’s fee structure and develop a proposal for future fee adjustment. Despite our best efforts to balance fundraising with social activities, we struggle to meet our budgeted fundraising goals. To offset this shortfall, rather than raise our fees, we have decided to collect a $100 fundraising fee per family at time of Registration. Each family will receive ten $10 Burloak Raffle tickets, which can be sold to family, friends and neighbours to recoup this $100 fee. 8 prizes totaling $4,000 cash will be drawn July 26th. As a bonus, each family will automatically be entered into the raffle draw. Our Canoe Club is involved in the following events: Ice Breaker – Sat May 9th -­‐ Dinner, fun, and games to kick off the season Ford Drive One – Sat June 13th -­‐ 300 test drives with absolutely no sales contact Pan-­‐Am Send-­‐Off – Sun July 5th -­‐ The Community of Oakville honours Burloak Pan-­‐Am athletes Canadian Open Ecology – July 19-­‐26 -­‐ All members must take a shift collecting garbage at the RBC Canadian Open Golf Championship WOD Regatta, Welland – July 25-­‐26 -­‐ The Western Ontario Division relies on our members to assist with regional regattas th
