The Yukon Canoe and Kayak Club located in Whitehorse Yukon was formed in 1961 by Don and Clare Graham as the Yukon Voyageur Club. The name was later changed to the Yukon Canoe and Kayak Club to better reflect the varying paddle styles we do. The club is a volunteer based club, that is predominantly, but not exclusively, a white water club.
What We Offer
We are lucky that we have the Yukon River flowing through our city that offers varying levels of difficulty. This creates a perfect place to lead our Adult and Youth Programs ( or just get away for a lunch-time paddle). We also organize day trips down the Takhini and Wheaton rivers and random trips down various other rivers. We also organize an annual whitewater rode as well as various down river races.
During the winter we have a kayak polo league, Drop-ins to practice skills and sea kayaking and rolling clinics.
The club has a stock of boats and equipment available to members during club events.
