Our upcoming regatta takes place next week on May 2 and 3. Details can be found on the CanoeKayakBC web site at

Please take note that parking is limited this year. The City of Maple Ridge is renovating the park so the campsites and all of the parking spots will not be available. At the same time, there is a wedding event occurring, so the parking lot next to the boathouse will be reserved. Boat trailers are permitted to park along the beach, though. Other parking may be available along 113 Avenue east of 276 Street or along Graham Street (which is a residential area so please respect our neighbours). Have a safe drive, and see you at the event!
