Photography used on this site - photos by various particpants and spectators, probably including Marie Bremner, Brian Otter, Dave Westell, Julie Kovach and others. Thanks also to the recognizable people in the photos. Please let me know if there is an image I shouldn't be using.

For helping to build initial interest - Roger Warnatsch & Allyson Philip and Ryan Mader (former national C-1 racer who gave a few of us a slalom clinic in 2006, and could probably be talked into giving more).

For their support in providing info from our "(big) sister race" - Gull River Open Canoe Slalom: Mark Scriver and Carole Westwood.

Thanks for the advice and support received on the Internet discussion boards at Canadian Canoe Routes and CBoats:

And to all the participants who contribute support, ideas and who volunteer on race weekend to help with set-up, registration, rope throwing and more.
