This weekend, Kathleen led her first Paddle Canada Level 2 as lead instructor, with Jill alongside her on her first co-lead. Seeing our coaches step into these roles and absolutely nail it is one of the best parts of what we do.

And the reviews coming back have been glowing. Participants pointed to how seamlessly Kathleen and Jill worked together: organized, engaging, and genuinely fun, with a learning environment that built real confidence on the water. Even seasoned paddlers walked away with new techniques and a few great stories (ask them about the all-in reentry scenario).

Congratulations, Kathleen and Jill. It’s been a pleasure to work with you over the years and watch you grow.
