| INFORMATION |

Orenda
Canoe Club
was founded in 1977 as the Orenda
Racing Canoe Club and established by 1979 on
Lake Echo, east of Dartmouth. Early equipment was provided
by the folding Cape Breton Canoe
Club. The club was incorporated in 1983 and
erected their first official boathouse in 1985, adding a
two-storey extension in 2000. Orenda was known for some
time during the 1980s as the Orenda
Aquatic Club (referenced in racing results and
plaques given to athletes). Orenda offers programs for all
levels, from Kiddie Canoe to elite performance. Competitive
paddlers train year round and take advantage of Orenda’s
own spring training program in Salt Springs, Florida. The
club’s philosophy is “winning is fun”
which underscores the success of each individual. “Orenda”
is Mi’Kmaq for “powerful spirit.” Original
Colours: Brown and Orange. |
