You may not be able to participate in the event anymore, but that doesn’t mean you can’t attend and have a great time. From 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, you can cheer on the participants as they battle it out in SUP relay races all the while supporting BrainTrust Canada. You can support the cause too by joining in on the BBQ lunch, donating to a paddler or by making an online donation.
