I assume responsibility for my own personal safety while kayaking and engaged in all Club activities, whether on or off the water.  I acknowledge that Club procedures, Guidelines, Standards, and the like, are not intended as a substitute for exercising my own careful judgement and for taking reasonable care for my own personal safety and well-being.

Nanaimo Paddlers is an informal group of people who like to paddle together. We organize trips, practice sessions, training sessions and social events for ourselves  Each Club member is responsible for her or his own conduct and safety on and off the water and before participating in any on-water activity must have completed a wet exit and assisted re-entry.  This should also be done annually.

Each member or guest must complete our waiver at least annually as a condition of participation in Nanaimo Paddlers activities. 

Thanks for deciding to join Nanaimo Paddlers. We look forward to paddling with you!
