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 enthusiastic response for organizing a canoe race - Chilliwack Centre of Excellence: Andrew Mylly, Shonnet Allan, and Marian Davidson.  And to Andrew for teaching the clinic.

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, timing and judging, especially Kelly Helland and Donna Smallpiece at the 2008 race.
