Hello, this website is to introduce my business, and the services I can offer.

I instruct Lakewater Canoe Courses certified by the Recreation Canoeing Association of BC (RCABC). These courses consist of Basic Tandem, Basic Solo, Advanced Tandem and Advanced Solo levels. They take approximately eight to ten hours each, and for adults two levels are usually done in one weekend.

I have been a canoe instructor for over twelve years. In addition to Hart Canoeing,
I have taught canoeing for summer camps, Scouts, Regina School Board, and Coquitlam School Board. For the Coquitlam School Board I instructed their canoeing programs for five years.

Hart Canoeing has been in operation since 1996. Since Hart Canoeing specializes in instructing youth groups, the majority of its clients have been Scout and Venture groups or their leaders. I have also instructed school groups and the general public.

To encourage youth groups and their leaders or teachers to take training, Hart Canoeing offers courses at reduced rates. A flexible schedule and various course locations are other popular features of Hart Canoeing. For more information on any of these courses please refer to the accompanying information sheet and poster, or contact me at

Yours sincerely,

Jim Hartwick
