Paddling Film Festival World Tour

The United Albertan Paddling Society is excited to host the Paddling Film Festival World Tour in Edmonton on March 29, 2025! Since 2006, the Paddling Film Festival has been a highlight in over 130 cities around the globe, showcasing the finest paddling films. It motivates audiences to cherish their local waterways, venture into rivers, lakes, and oceans, and fully embrace the paddling lifestyle. We invite you to join us for the World Tour screening at the NAIT Shaw Theatre on Saturday, March 29. Doors will open in the lobby at 5 pm, with the film screening scheduled for 6:30 pm. Before the show, purchase some beer & snacks and take part in our paddling fair in the lobby, where you can explore various booths, discover how to safely start your paddling journey, learn essential skills for river outings, connect with local paddling clubs, and find out more about our provincial paddling associations. Thank you to Benke Real Estate and KC Insurance for their generous support in helping to make this event happen. All proceeds from this event will help fund essential equipment for our children’s paddling program, which includes skirts, paddles, and kayaks. This program allows us to introduce young children to paddling safely at Eastglen Pool, with plans to get them on the river later in the summer and fall. Additionally, funds will be allocated for training and certification of our volunteer instructors, ensuring they are fully insured to teach paddling at local pools, ponds, lakes, and rivers. This event is a vital fundraiser for our non-profit organization, and we are immensely grateful for your support!
