Collingwood Open Water Swim

Canaqua Sports and the Georgian Bay Squall Masters Swim Club are proud to support Georgian Bay Forever.

Georgian Bay Forever conserves, protects, and restores the aquatic ecosystem of all Georgian Bay.

The health and vitality of freshwater ecosystems are more important now than ever, which is why we work to scientifically identify and reduce threats to the safety of Georgian Bay's water and wetlands, the fundamental life-giving resource of this most cherished place.

Canaqua Sports is proud to announce our partnership with Childhood Cancer Canada. This partnership is a celebration of shared values: perseverance, hope, and a deep commitment to community. Together, Childhood Cancer Canada and Canaqua Sports aim to raise awareness, inspire action, and support children and families affected by childhood cancer across Canada.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Canaqua Sports for standing with us. Open water swimmers and Swimrunners face the unknown with every race – unpredictable conditions, long distances, and moments that test their mental strength as much as their physical endurance,” said Kyle Smith, Director of Development, Childhood Cancer Canada. “That same courage and determination lives in the kids we support. Every day, they navigate their own challenging journeys with incredible bravery.”
