Founded in 1982 by Ralph "Jigger" Mott, Kinap has been offering the residents of our surrounding communities the opportunity to participate in the exciting and challenging sport of kayak and canoeing for or over 30 years.
The name Kinap is a Mi'Kmaq word that means "someone who excels" and our goal as a club is to ensure each of our members strive for excellence in all of their athletic endeavours.
