ICC in the news!

The club's slalom course project was featured in the Press & Journal last week.

Not as much information in the article as we'd have liked, but it was a fair overview of what's proposed and hopefully will help to raise the club's profile and aid us in reaching out to others in the local community.

Gyrodactylus Salaris Parasite

Gyrodactylus Salaris - a water borne parasite - is of increasing concern in Europe and, if it made its way into Scottish waters, would have the potential to devastate salmon fisheries in the country.

Please take a few minutes to read our interim guidance note to ensure that, as a club, we help to keep this parasite out of our rivers.

Should paddlers colour-code their gear?


Newsflash

After seeing a load of Santas running over one of the Ness Island bridges as we paddled under it last year, members of Inverness Canoe Club decided to take part...but with one small difference...

No running for us...so, 2009 saw the first ever 'Santa Paddle' as part of the 'Wild Hearts' Santa Run...

Despite rain, very high water levels and plenty of cold air, seven Santas made it down the Ness in kayaks - not Rudolf, though, as it was his day off!!
