Please note: Mugs and water bottles will be produced once we have met the minimum order requirement. Until then they will be backordered. If we don't reach the minimum, Hart N Hart will cancel those items and refund your credit card. Thanks for your understanding.
Thank you to all those who support us by sharing our story! Check out the News page to see where K4C has been featured, and for information on events.
Kayaking for Cancer launches on August 8, with kayakers paddling the 202 km of the Rideau Canal over eight days. The kayakers depart from the Kingston Rowing Club (Cataraqui Canoe Club) on Saturday morning, and arrive at the top of the Ottawa Locks on the following Saturday afternoon.
You can find the full K4C schedule and route on the Map page.
Throughout our time kayaking the Rideau many tales have formed. They are a testament to the courage and determination of our paddlers, volunteers, family and friends over the past 26 years. We invite you to read and watch them on our Facebook page.
