What's in a Name?

The mascot of the 1978 Commonwealth Games held in Edmonton was called Keyano, a bear. The Games organizers told us that Keyano means friendship or togetherness in Cree. The club was granted permission to use the name but suggested that Keyano was propperly spelled with a "C" and an "a." More recently from Keyano College we understand Keyano roughly translates to "sharing."  And we've certainly shared a lot of paddling experiences over our 44 years!

WE PADDLE!

Incorporated in 1978, Ceyana Canoe Club is the largest canoe club in Edmonton. We now have over 200 member paddlers of all ages. Ceyana offers a mix of family-oriented canoeing and kayaking programs, including: 

  • Courses 
  • Trips 
  • Social events
  • Drop-in paddling 

The club has been instrumental in the past with: the Klondike Days Canoe Regatta, the development of Dragon Boat Racing in Edmonton, the Edmonton Paddling Centres Association (EPCA), the Rundle Park Paddling Centre, the 2008 David Thompson Brigade and many later brigades, and the development of the Buena Vista boat sheds for EPCA members. Ceyana is a member of Paddle Alberta - our provincial recreational paddling association.
