The River Runners Canoe Club was founded in 2000 and incorporated in 2001. It is a non-profit organization devoted to grouping people of similar interest to actively participate in the sport of canoeing and kayaking. It serves as a rallying body for its members by encouraging them to join in group outings, thereby allowing them to practice the sport in a safe and secure environment.

The Club also serves as a beacon to newcomers who wish to learn the techniques of canoeing by providing a variety of courses given by certified instructors.

It is a family oriented group that discourages the consumption of alcoholic beverages during canoe outings. The club strongly promotes the wisdom of cleaning up the environment we live in by participating in river and walking trail clean ups.
