Paddle the Rideau

WE DID IT!

The Kingston Unitarian Fellowship is very proud to announce that the paddle from Kingston Upper Brewers Mills Lock to Ottawa's Mooney's Bay was completed with six canoes and two kayaks. Some people paddled all the way and some participated by paddling some days. Another extremely valuable group participated by organizing and delivering wonderful nutritious, delicious meals to the paddlers.

As of October 31, 2012, two hundred and ten people contributed to the fundraising effort and more than $24,500 was raised.

We were able to complete two washrooms on the second floor of 206 Concession Street, and now have the money set aside for the handicapped accessible washroom for the first floor.

Thank you to all who were involved, but particularly to Rick Hatton and Anne Coward for their leadership.
