Important Information for ORCKA Members & Ontario Paddlers
regarding changes to your Paddle Canada Status
 

ON-LINE REGISTRATION TO PADDLE CANADA

Any instructor wishing to offer Paddle Canada courses must first be an active member, in good standing, of his or her Federated Member Association where one exists. Where no such association exists, Paddle Canada will have sole discretion in the accreditation of instructors.

Instructors are required to register on a yearly basis. Paddle Canada Membership is based on the calendar year from January 1st to December 31st, regardless of what time of year the certification was renewed or obtained. By having our instructors register on a yearly basis we are assured that they:

1. Are members in good standing of their Federation Member Association,
2. Are members in good standing of Paddle Canada,
3. Have an accurate and up-to-date Instructor record in the Paddle Canada files.

This registration form captures all relevant information about our instructors and will be the only time during the current paddling season that they will need to enter their personal information in full. Subsequent course registrations and reports, will require only the instructors name and Paddle Canada membership number.

New Instructor Candidate Registrations during the Current Year
All new instructor candidates are required to register with Paddle Canada to ensure that he or she has registered with his or her Federated Member Association, and to ensure the accuracy of the information received in our office.

New instructor candidates must register prior to taking an instructor course.
