Kayakers and paddle boarders will unite with canoeists this weekend at Willows Beach as Paddle for Health takes the helm from Kayak for a Cure. “We opened it up to just about anything that paddles,” Don Lowther, volunteer organizer and founder of Paddle for Health. The event that shifted to Oak Bay from the Saanich Peninsula a
few years ago, under the growing banner of Kayak for a Cure, slides into new realm with nearly 70 paddlers of myriad vessels signed on for the trip from Willows Beach to Gyro Park and back on Saturday. “We’ll have a big crowd. Participant wise it will be the biggest one we’ve ever had,” said Lowther. There were 44 kayakers last year and raised just over $20,000 for Inspire Health.
