September 16th and Sept 17th, will be our last weekend at Fairy Lake during the 2017 Acton Fall Fair. We are excited to see the ground break for the new wheelchair accessible dock that will hopefully be ready (fingers crossed) for the 2018 season.

Please join us at the Paddle House! See you on the water.

Capturing the moments

In turn, I reminisced about the times my dad and I would go paddling on the Rouge River. If it wasn’t for my dad sharing time with me on the water, I am not sure if I would have the passions I have today. I doubt I would be where I am today. Building memories is what it’s all about. Capturing and seizing the moments. Those moments you remember are the essence of building your life.

Now and then I revisit a story “Evelyn’s Red Canoe” that was sent to us as a thank you in 2005. I tend to re-read this story now and then to remind me of how precious life is. Battling Lyme disease constantly reminds you everyday to walk like you’re kissing the ground, or in our case “paddle your own canoe!” The strength I tell myself I have, I share it, in hopes to help others deal with what I have been going through for countless years. My personal journey is not personal anymore. It affects our children, our company, our life. I am sharing my journey in hopes of raising awareness by auctioning off one of our canoes that has been specially made for this. Recently, the Independent Free Press wrote an article on the auction that will be happening on May22 on eBay.ca

“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn”  ~Harriet Beecher Stowe

Life is precious. Seize the moments.
