What an amazing way to spend a Sunday! We saw plenty of curious seals and beautiful birds (herons, osprey, cormorants, eagles, and gulls). Thank you to Eastern Shore Pride - Nova Scotia for organizing such a great community event and to The Deanery Project for hosting us.

I was fortunate enough to lead a community Pride paddle in partnership with Eastern Shore Pride. It was a privilege to be a part of their amazing programming. Be sure to check out the rest of their schedule!!

Gathering together and including ourselves in activities and spaces is an important aspect of Pride. I'm proud to be apart of such a beautiful and loving q***r community.

Hey everyone, it's Camber! It's been a while (a long while) and Meguma Canoe has gone through some pretty big changes.

After some significant life changes, I've moved Meguma Canoe from Annapolis Valley to Halifax! But don't worry, our services are still mobile so we can deliver canoe rentals, lessons, and excursions across the Maritimes.

I have been fortunate enough to welcome a new member to our team! Meet Francine, a passionate artist and paddler who's ready to share her wealth of knowledge with the community. Francine's skills and experiences are going to help expand our services and increase our capacity. Look out for new artistic and creative content in our programming!

You may have noticed but Meguma Canoe has a fresh new look! Thanks to .hfx, we have a new logo that better captures our personality. Everyone's loves some 70s vibes! You'll also notice us cruising around in our new tow vehicle, a Jeep Wranger JK. Our JK will make sure we can still get these boats to nearly any water body in the Maritimes. Say hi 👋 when you see us around!

While Meguma Canoe has gone through some hefty change and growth, we haven't changed who we are. We love to paddle and our goal is to provide a safe space for others to do the same. Let us do the heavy lifting (literally) so you can have a fulfilling experience.

We'll be planning some public events around Halifax this summer! Watch our page for our upcoming schedule. Paddle Canada courses and community paddles are on the way!
