Canoes have a long and rich history in the culture of Aboriginal peoples and early European explorers across Canada. Canoeing remains one of the most popular water-based outdoor recreation activities in Canada, and is having a modern resurgence among coastal First Nations. Though coastal canoeing currently has a limited presence in the Adventure Tourism market on the west coast of BC, it is nevertheless an important activity at cultural events, summer camps, outdoor education centres, and correctional institutes. The course is taught to meet the Advanced Tandem Paddling (Basic Flatwater 3) and Basic Solo Paddler 2 standards of the Recreational Canoeing Association of BC (RCABC). This course provides a foundation for the RCABC Coastal Canoeing and Flatwater Instructor courses.
