Rideau River Event – LOCATION CHANGE

For logistical reasons, the event originally scheduled for Rideau River @ Kilmarnock, will have to be moved to Rideau River @ Taylor Park – a different section of the river.
BAA Execs worked hard to come to agreements with Parks Canada to actually split our field at the Kilmarnock Locks (upper and lower) but event fees and insurance reasons prohibit us from doing this. The lower section of Kilmarnock, from Kilmarnock Lock to Merrickville Lock, is too small for 40 teams, and with only one small boat launch and little parking, was not something we can consider further.

This event has officially been changed to Rideau River @ Taylor Park for the 2017 season.
