| Vancouver Ocean Sports was started
for the sole purpose of providing an inclusive paddling venue for
people with all levels of ability and skill. With the club now over two years old and growing fast, we have added a new competitive program that will be starting in the Winter of 2007. We are maintaining our current programs, while increasing the skill and challenge for those ready to make the next step.
If you are looking at trying a new sport,
or want to train for an international race, Pogue Sports Canoe Club
has the program for you. We are happy to have one of the fastest
growing clubs in BC and are attracting recreational and competitive
paddlers alike. You no longer have to give up other life commitments
to enjoy paddling. Paddle when you want to and choose how hard you
want to go.
Contact us today and see what program we have for you.
MISSION STATEMENT
