The
Abenaki
Aquatic Club, founded in 1970 as the
Bel Ayr Boat Club, offers sprint and
recreational paddling as well as swimming to south Dartmouth
residents. Situated on a former water supply lake, Abenaki
was the first Atlantic club to move to both fibreglass and
Kevlar war canoes. Abenaki’s motto is “Recreation,
Citizenship, Conservation Through Water Activities.”
“Abenaki” is a Mi’Kmaq word meaning “People
of the Rising Sun.” |
