Paddlers participate at their own risk & PFDs are REQUIRED as safety is the number one priority for this event. Waivers must be signed & parents must sign for anyone under the age of 19. Costumes will be heavy if you fall in AND as you know, witches melt when they get wet! Plastic garbage bags also make excellent capes if the weather happens to not be ideal (& they will also help to keep you dry) Bring your paddleboard, kayak or canoe to the gathering point & dressed in costume to join in on the fun in support of a great cause!

Witches & Warlocks on the Water is a fundraising event. There will be individual bins set up at the registration table to collect monetary donations, personal care items and non-perishable food items for the food banks.

Tiffany from the Chipman Community care as well as Sherri from the Resource Center in Minto, will also be keeping their eyes out in the months prior to this event for witches hats, cloaks, etc so reach out to them if you are in need.

Don’t forget to pack these very important items along with your paddleboard, kayak, canoe, witch/warlock costume – warm clothing, towels, water and possibly a change of clothes. Dress appropriately for the air and water temperature!

Please make sure to take any garbage with you at the end of the day and please be respectful of residents who live in this area (ie: do not block driveways) Terry & Cheyna Lemon have offered overflow parking which will be marked the day of the event. It may be best to unload at the park and move your vehicle there for ease of everyone loading/unloading.

Reminder – This gathering is paddle at your own risk. For all non-paddlers, we would also love to see some witches on the shoreline cheering us on & donations will be accepted by anyone participating or not at the entrance which will be clearly marked. Spectators are welcome to view the event from the main park as witches will be paddling the length of the cove and back but we would ask that you keep the driveway at the park clear for vehicles to load/unload their vessel of choice.

Hope to see everyone out for what is sure to be an event to remember!
