Vernon Paddle Centre Society is hosting 2025 World Tour Paddle Film Festival April 24, 2025 7:00 to 9:00 pm @ Coldstream Community Hall - 9909 Kalamalka Road, Coldstream Tickets are sold online (www.vernonpaddlingcentre.ca), at the door and also at Valhalla Pure downtown Vernon $20.00 per person.
In addition to the eight (8) local sponsors, door prizes from business around the local Okanagan area have been generously given to help this event happen.
Adaptive Paddle group will be running a mini concession (chips and water) with proceeds going to their group as they share the paddle centre area with the Society down at Paddlewheel Park, Vernon.
8 short films will be shown highlighting different paddlers including kayaking, Standup Paddle Boards, Outrigger Canoes (like the canoes our Club paddles), as well as old wood frame canoe building. These films are taken from different parts of the world, and we have included films of Canada showing adventures over the Great Divide in BC and a Wood canoe builder from Ontario. This is an all family and friends' event. We are planning on displaying our 6-man Outrigger Canoe (40 ft long - deep hauled canoe) and a single Outrigger the night of the film festival for all guests to see.
