| INFORMATION |
The
Sack-a-Wa
Canoe Club has provided sprint canoeing
and kayaking since 1980, serving all three Sackville communities
north of Halifax. The club was incorporated in 1980 and
built its clubhouse in 1982, although the club’s
beginnings date back to the Kinsmen centre in 1978. After
some time away from the CCA during the 1990s, Sack-a-Wa
rejoined in 2004. Sack-a-Wa translates as “Sackville
on the water” (a name submitted by 11-year old contest
winner Shaun Smith) and the club regularly hosts the Sack-a-Wa
Triathlon. Original Colours: Gold and Purple.
