2006 Nationals/Canmas

Burnaby was well represented at the 2006 Canadian National Sprint Canoe Championships held in Regina from August 23-27. Katja won gold in the master A womens K1 500m and Keith Major won bronze in the master B mens K1 1000m. Other paddlers representing BCKC were Conor Wollbaum, Brenden Fitspatrick, Heide Eden, Daryl Remmler and Jeff Raymond. BCKCers Jim Nosella and Kiran Basra competed for RCKC in order to enter teamboat events as BCKC did not have enough athletes to field our own teamboat crews.

BCKC fielded an even larger squad for Canmas, with enough athletes to enter war canoe races. Jim Nosella coxed our crew to a fine result in the 500m race which earned BCKC the Archie MacGlashen Award which was presented to the team at the post event dinner/awards ceremony. BCKC's Canmas athletes consisted of Dan, Micky, Daryl, Darrell, Heide, Katja, Lynn, Dave, Keith, Frid, Catherine and Jeff.
