INFORMATION
The Greater Edmonton Racing Canoe/Kayak Club was started by Joanne Devlin-Morrison, Rick Hill and Cathy Hill in 2002 as an extension of the St. Albert Canoe & Kayak Club and joined CCA in 2004. (GERCKC's website states 1986) Greater Edmonton operates strictly as a sprint racing club with a growing number of youths and masters. The club operated out of Laurier Park on the North Saskatchewan and used the same facilities as the Edmonton Whitewater Paddlers until another move in 2018 to Cardiff Pond north of Edmonton. They also use Kirk Lake in conjunction with St. Albert who now calls Cardiff Pond home. GERCK currently operates back on the North Saskatchewan in the Northeast River Valley Park.
