Home of Recreational Paddling in Newfoundland and Labrador
The Mission of Paddle Newfoundland and Labrador (Paddle NL) is to advance participation and interest in all paddling disciplines practiced throughout the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Our mission is achieved through the promotion of safety, skill development, conservation, advocacy, and an active program of on and off-water activities. All Paddle NL events adhere to our core values of fellowship, inclusion, and respect.
Upcoming Events
Whether you are a ‘self taught’ paddler, or a newbie, our Skills School courses are designed to help you build a foundation of skills and knowledge to help you enjoy your future paddling adventures. And you maybe surprised at what you think you know and what you need to know.
We will be returning to the beautiful Change Islands area, for June 19 – 22 (Discovery Day) Weekend. Join us to explore new shores and coastline, and we plan on offering more inland opportunity for paddling this year, wandering the reaches of Change Islands.
