Paddle for the People 2025 Recap

​What a day on the Credit River for the 14th Annual Paddle for the People! The sun was shining, the BBQ was sizzling, and the community spirit was unstoppable at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #82.

This year, thanks to your generosity, we raised an amazing $13,862 to fully fund our Gift of Christmas program 🎁 on December 14, 2025 — and we’re also proud to pledge support this year again for:

• ’Twas The Bite Before Christmas 🍽
• Impressionable Gifts Diaper Drive 👶
• The Shoebox Project 🎁
• Charles Sousa Turkey Drive 🦃
• Plus, cover LCCTeam’s year-round expenses so our volunteer team of five can keep serving the community.
