Abilities in Motion will again be hosting their annual regatta at Earl Rowe Provincial Park just outside of Alliston.
The regatta offers the public an opportunity to learn about the not-for-profit organization and enjoy a summer day out on the lake.
Abilities in Motion promotes inclusive paddling and provides people with physical disabilities and mental challenges the opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy paddling.
The organization built a boat house at Earl Rowe Park several years ago to store their kayaks and canoes and it also serves as a meeting place and headquarters.
The Big Canoe is a popular experience on the lake and offers seating for several people in the 26-foot-long craft. This year, there will be two big canoes available.
To throw a little challenge into the day, there will be a Big Canoe tug-of-war.
This year’s regatta will take place on Friday, Aug. 16, and Saturday, Aug. 17.
Entrance to the park is free, but you must register in advance by emailing creekpaddler4@gmail.com.
This will be an opportunity to see what Abilities in Motion is all about and enjoy the experience of getting out on the water and paddling.
