The BC Whitewater Championships were held this past weekend on the Rutherford Whitewater Park, Canada's first and only purpose built whitewater park. The event was hosted by Canoe Kayak BC, Rutherford Creek Power and Innergex.
The event went off without a hitch and marks a milestone for Canadian Paddling. Kelly Vanderbeek put together a short montage on the weekends events and can be viewed on youtube at http://youtube.com/watch?v=0Fo242trjSQ
The course can be best described as Bourg St. Maurice meets Bratislava and is a fun and challenging track. There is no doubt that whitewater sport in BC is moving into a new and exciting era.
See you on the river!

David you did Canada proud! I can't believe you lost your funding for the reasons they gave.
Your efforts have shown that you are a true champion and have encouraged younger paddlers to get in the water!
