A first edition of the collective paddling event in the canal!
Développement Vaudreuil-Soulanges (DEV) and the Conseil du bassin versant de la région de Vaudreuil-Soulanges (COBAVER), in collaboration with the ministère de l’Environnement et de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques (MELCC), invite the population to participate at this first edition of a collective paddling event in the canal de Soulanges, on July 10, 2021!
Date : July 10, postponed until the next day in case of rain.
Schedule : Departure in small groups from 9:00 am. Departures could last until 11:30 am.
Cost : Free for people who own their own paddle boat. Limited places, registration required.
Location : Meeting point and departure of the land shuttle: Pointe-des-Cascades. Details regarding departure times, shuttle and parking will be sent to participants a few days before the event.
Trace : From rang Saint-Féréol (Les Cèdres) to the heart of the village of Pointe-des-Cascades, there will therefore be two portages to perform. The first at lock 4 of the Soulanges canal (450 meters) and a second at Rang Saint-Antoine.
Difficulty level : Intermediate, due to portages and water outlets. Warning: the canal is a watercourse with naturalized and steep banks, water inlets and outlets at portages require good strength and a certain agility. Choose light and solid boats and sail in pairs or in small groups.
Duration : between 2 and 4 hours.
Looking forward to sharing this moment with you!
