Rock The Dock 2025

Collingwood Paddling Club's Rock The Dock is back after a hiatus over the pandemic.

Raising over $5000 in its last year thanks to our community's generous support, we are aiming to pick up where we left off with our amazing line up of talented musicians and waterfront location to spend your Sunday afternoon. Funds raised will provide much needed resources to replace our safety boat and provide affordable, accessible programs to all ages and abilities. In 2025 we initiated new Seniors dragonboat and small boat programs and a Special Olympics Paddle All program for individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities focusing on recreational paddling in canoes and kayaks in a safe and supportive environment.

Rocking the dock this year is Hot Pants a folk/pop/rock band from nearby Singhampton. Our opening act, Laura Robinson, is a talented singer-songwriter with relatable original songs and great covers to sing along to.

Cold beer, other alcholic and non-alcohlic drinks as well as delightful chili-in-a-bowl with all the trimmings will be available for purchase.

Our generous sponsors making this event happen because they care about all ages and abilities in our communities having access to the sport of paddling. Thank you!
