CKC Development Award

The Coach Development Award is presented to a coach who has demonstrated excellence in developing a club or the sport through the implementation of new programs such as aboriginal paddling or PaddleALL, the improvement of Provincial and National level performance, and the concern for all-round athlete improvement and health.
