Once again IBISKA is participating in the annual Canoe for Kids fundraiser in support of Christie Lake Camp. This event will raise funds for summer camp and programs that provide underprivileged kids in the Ottawa area with opportunities that they wouldn’t otherwise have. This family-friendly event takes place on Saturday, June 7th at Mooney’s Bay.
Help the IBISKA Paddlers support Ottawa’s children and youth by making a small contribution – This link will take you to the IBISKA Team’s page: IBISKA Paddlers.
NOTE: As has been the custom in prior years, any donation made prior to June 5th EOD will be matched by IBISKA.
Thanks to all that contributed to last year’s fund raising success: over $11,000 was raised by the IBISKA Paddlers – helping 7 local kids go to camp
