# Event Details

- **Event Name**: World Rivers Day Guided Paddle 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sun, 27 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Join our giant flotilla of canoes and kayaks travelling 40 kms from Hope to Agassiz celebrating World Rivers Day!


We invite you to paddle with us to experience and learn about the mighty Fraser River. 

Bring your own boat or hop aboard one of our large, guided Voyageur canoes. There’s something for all skill levels! A motorized escort boat will join us to help keep everyone safe on the river.

Along the way, you’ll visit the gravel bars, side channels, islands, and riparian forests that make this part of the Fraser so important to fish and wildlife. Mark Angelo, founder of World Rivers Day, calls this part of the river the “Heart of the Fraser” in honour of the ecological wealth found there. The Hope-to-Mission stretch produces up to 10 million pink salmon annually, and hundreds of thousands of chum salmon, and this year, the miraculous return of sockeye salmon! No other part of the Fraser produces more fish. In fact, 30 species of fish are found here, including the largest population of sturgeon in Canada and as we’ve all been seeing in the news, this is a record year!

As the population of this region continues to grow, it is increasingly important that we better understand and protect this incredibly important river, making this event more important than ever.

​PRICE INCLUDES:
Professional river guides
Power boat safety escort
Bus transportation between Agassiz and Hope
Educational tour
Snacks at check-in

Note: This is a self-catered event; bring your own drinks and packed lunch.

SKILL LEVEL AND PHYSICAL DEMAND:

Own canoe or kayak
Participants will be paddling in a high-volume river. The stretch of river between Hope and our terminus at the Cheam Fishing Village & Campground is a mix of class 1 and class 2 water rapids so participants in their own boats must have river paddling experience and be physically able to independently maneuver their boats in turbulent water.  Currents will assist paddling, so the trip is moderate in terms of physical demand. Participants will be getting in and out of the watercrafts by travelling across rocky, uneven river shore (there is no dock).

​​Voyageur
These large canoes hold up to 20 paddlers and offer excellent stability. Each Voyageur is navigated by experienced river guides. Paddling is easy and no experience or special equipment is required. You’ll paddle the river as the Stó:lo and early settlers did!
Participants will be expected to paddle, but we will be going down river with the river current so only a moderate physical fitness is required.  Participants will need to be able to maneuver in and out of a large canoe, and walk in the water to the watercraft across rocky, uneven river shore.

Please be aware that our programs run regardless of weather conditions, unless we determine that it will affect the safety of participants.
