The Kelowna Paddle Centre (KPC) will be hosting their spring open house on Sat., April 30 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. and the public is encouraged to come down and check it out.

It has been a year since the new home for the Paddle Centre was opened and membership has grown to 350 members, with over 300 participants in public programs taking advantage of the centre.
In 2015, KPC offered a variety of public programs for all ages and abilities, including Stand Up Paddling for families, Introduction to SUP, SUP for Kids and Kids Camp. This season they will be adding other opportunities to enjoy paddling on the lake, including Parent & Tot Paddling, Youth SUP Program, Ladies Outrigger Night, 50+ Outrigger Paddling and Introduction to Outrigger.
