We’re incredibly excited for the 2026 paddling season on the Ottawa River.

As one of the world’s premier whitewater destinations, it’s a privilege to welcome paddlers from across Canada and around the globe to learn, progress, compete, and connect with the community that makes this place so special. This year is particularly exciting with the addition of two new community-focused events: the Corner Wave Jam Session and the Push Button Rodeo.

These events have been a long time coming and were created directly in response to requests from paddlers. We’ve heard the enthusiasm, the ideas, and the desire for more opportunities to get together on the water, and we are thrilled to finally make them a reality.

Check out our 2026 events lineup and sign up today! We can’t wait to see you on the Ottawa River this season!
