The Alberta Whitewater Association has received a Transport Canada Grant of $225,000 for several river safety initiatives that we will be working on from 2023-2025. The River Watercraft Safety Program has three parts:
1. Set Up a PFD Lending Station at Harvie Passage in Calgary.
2. A SUP awareness campaign about the dangers of ankle leashes in moving water.
3. An Online River Safety course for the general recreational paddler on the basics of river safety.
