We are happy to announce that the Witches Paddle will commence again this year!
Please join us for some wicked fun as our paddling community swap brooms for kayaks, canoes and stand-up paddle boards (SUPs) to stir up some witches’ brew dressed in Witches or halloween costumes.
The event will take place at 1 PM on SATURDAY OCTOBER 04, 2025.
We will meet at the Sproat Lake Provincial Park, and do a warm up dance at 1 pm. We will then head out on the water within the traditional territories of the Hupacasath First Nation and Tseshaht First Nation. We will make our way to the the K’aka’win petroglyphs.
Should you wish to participate please bring your human-powered pleasure craft and paddle, along with the appropriate safety equipment.
Please ensure that your costume doesn’t restrict your movement, ability to swim and stay buoyant should you happen to fall in the water. Ideally your PFD or lifejacket will be worn under your costume.
This is an informal event, participants are welcome to come and go throughout the event.
Please come at your own risk. The organizers will not be held liable, your participation is not supervised by Activate Athletic studio.
If you come late, please just launch and join in when you can!
