We rocked it last year! The Pepper Pod Paddlers are set to make waves again and we’d love if you’d join us.

We’re recruiting for three vital roles:

• Paddlers: Join the crew powering the boat to glory (20 + spares)*
• Set-up Crew: Help with the set-up and take down of the Pepper Pod Pavilion (4 people)
• Race Day Supporters: Slice watermelon and make sure everyone’s happy and hydrated (4 people)

* Priority will be given to previous paddlers.

• Coach – Meghan Provost (Same coach as last year!)
• Team Captain – Cathy Priestman
• Drummer – Sandra Perron
• Steersperson – Jeff Simpson
• Trainer – Meghan Bellefleur
• … and hopefully YOU!

We’ll have a dryland meeting at the Pepper Pod to meet the team and share some info to keep you in the loop.

• Sunday, 13 April 2025
• 11:00 am
• At the Pepper Pod (35 Chemin Nordik, Chelsea, Quebec)

If you’re registering as a Paddler, make sure you’re available to practice at 6:00pm Tuesdays and Thursdays in June. The dates are June 3, 5, 10, 12, 17, & 19.
