À PROPOS
MEET OUR TEAM
KELLY (she/her) started Georgian Bay Paddling in 2019. She first learned of her love for canoeing through the Outdoors club at her Collingwood high school and continued to practice the sport throughout her life, often with her own kids in tow, and enjoying kayaking as well. Later in life, as an established teacher, Kelly decided to earn her ORKCA Basic Canoeing Instructor Certification in order to combine two of her favourite things: teaching and paddling. She feels very fortunate to be able to teach these skills in the beautiful Collingwood area, helping to build confidence and empowerment among her clients.
