Remember Covid-19 Paddling Precautions - the 2nd Wave is Here!

Paddle participants are reminded to review and adhere to SISKA expectations for COVID-19 Guidelines.

These are outlined in the SISKA Policy and Procedures (https://siska.ca/prod/docs_private/SISKA_Policies_Procedures.pdf )

and maintained by the Province of BC  (https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/health/about-bc-s-health-care-system/office-of-the-provincial-health-officer/current-health-topics/covid-19-novel-coronavirus).

Specifically, participants should only attend if they can answer NO to each of these questions:

 In the past 14 days, have you:

1.  experienced any symptoms related to COVID-19?

2.  travelled outside Canada?

3.  had contact with anyone travelling outside Canada, or with anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19, or who has experienced symptoms related to COVID-19?

The South Island Sea Kayaking Association - SISKA - is a non-profit organization dedicated to sea kayaking on Vancouver Island, particularly in the Greater Victoria area.


SISKA was formed in 2008 by like-minded kayakers to promote safety and skill on the water and to increase knowledge associated with the sport of kayaking. We also champion community causes relating to kayaking. Mostly though, we love to get together and go paddling. All skill levels will find a comfortable group to paddle with, while being provided with opportunity to step out of that comfort zone a bit and grow those skills.

Last year we had 441 paddlers join us on 42 paddles for a total of 255.10nm. So far in 2020 we've had 485 paddlers join us on 60 paddles for a total of 293.97nm

We hold a regular monthly meeting on the 4th Wednesday of the month.  The meeting usually involves a short business meeting followed by about an hour presentation by a guest speaker, and we've had some great ones. During the Cvid-10 pandemic we are conducting our meetings using zoom  Guests are welcome.  You can find information about our upcoming meeting by viewing our Calendar.  Meetings are not held during the summer when everyone is to busy paddling and in December.
