Edmonton Outrigger Canoe Club (EOCC)


We are here to introduce the sport of outrigger canoe racing and recreational paddling for fitness, cross training for dragon boat paddlers seeking the exceptional cross-training experience.


Members can train for long distance races anywhere from Novice races (6-13 km), after 2 years of paddling, you can paddle an Open race (20-24 km), sprint races from 500-1500 meters.


The origin of the outrigger canoe racing dates back to the Polynesians, the Hawaiians are most noted for their hand carved canoes with the pontoons off to the one side.


EOCC is offering a chance to paddle an outrigger canoe on the North Saskatchewan River near Fort Edmonton Park. We are a non- profit club, operating out of Fort Edmonton Park. Join as a Member or just drop in.
