From far and wide, canoe kayak has been making waves at every Canada Summer Games since the inaugural edition in 1969.
That rich Canada Games history has propelled paddlers like alumni Adam Van Koeverden and Andréanne Langlois to Olympic heights.
Canoe kayak became an Olympic sport in Berlin in 1936, and Canadians have paddled their way to the podium since that debut. The sport now includes Olympic events for both sprint and slalom disciplines.
