Lead organization: Wildsight Invermere

Celebrate the mighty Columbia River on BC Rivers Day with a group paddle from Invermere to Radium.

This year’s paddle we’ll have a few extra tidbits to get stuck into along the way, including trying your hand at testing and comparing the water quality at different locations, with Wildsight Educator, Jessie Caza.

This event is open to all ages. Please note that although there will be some experienced paddlers in the group, it is not a ‘guided’ paddle so you are responsible for your own safety and preparedness.

You can bring your own canoe/ kayak/ paddle board or other suitable vessel, or you can rent one from Columbia River Paddle for a special discounted price of $60 per person in a canoe or double/single kayak, which includes a shuttle back to Invermere.

To book only the shuttle back to Invermere with your own boat, it’s $25/person. (Prices excl. tax).
