Get ready to make waves for a cause that truly matters – Paddle for Health is back on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at beautiful Willows Beach in Victoria!

 

This annual, family-friendly event brings the community together in support of Island Kids Cancer Association (IKCA). Whether you’re paddling a voyageur canoe, kayak, stand-up paddleboard, or cheering from the shore, this is a day to come together, get active, and show up for families facing childhood cancer.

 

Once registered, either as an individual or with a team, you’ll have the chance to start fundraising in support of IKCA. Every dollar raised goes directly toward programs that help local families navigate the challenges of a childhood cancer diagnosis. Raise what you can and there will be awards for top fundraisers and best costumes on event day.

 

All skill levels are welcome, even first-time paddlers! The event includes a scenic group paddle, fun beach activities, a complimentary lunch from Deadbeetz Burgers and more.

 

We also want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Don Lowther, founder and organizer of Paddle for Health, for his continued leadership, vision, and dedication. Don’s commitment to creating a meaningful and inclusive event has made a lasting impact on the IKCA community, and we’re so grateful.

Join us in paddling with purpose and register today!
