Paddle Alberta Society is excited to announce our very first prize draw raffle

fundraiser!

We have graciously received a donation by Toms Marine and Sports of a beautiful

brand new Merrimack Canoe.

Ticket purchasers will have the chance to win a beautiful canoe and help spread the

love of paddling. Your involvement in the raffle contributes to making quality paddling

programs accessible to more communities across the province.

• Raffle Prize is a brand new Fibreglass 14.5ft Merrimack Tennessean Canoe

Specs: - Fiberglass and cherry wood construction - Beam 35" - Depth 11.5" - Bow Height 20" - Length 14.5' - Approx. Weight 45 lbs. - Capacity 625 lbs

The 14.5’ Tennessean is a canoe that can do a bit of everything. While a two-seater, it handles

as comfortably solo as tandem. Spacious enough for two people to take a weekend trip, it can

also be heavily loaded for long solo trips. Weighing 45 pounds, the Tennessean is

straightforward to transfer into and out of the water whether solo or as a pair. Fiberglass is laid

up to strike a good balance of weight and durability, then reinforced with cherry ribs for added

strength and rigidity. Cherrywood appointments, including the gunnels, seats, and thwart are

rounded out with a striking gel-coat painted finish that is sure to impress both on and off the

water.

• Ticket Price: 1 for $10

• Draw Date: Tuesday April 1, 2025 (12pm)

• Draw Location: Online

You must live in Alberta and be 18 years old or older to purchase a ticket.

The winner will be contacted by phone and email to claim the prize and will have to pick up the canoe in NW

Calgary no later than April 6, 2025 by 6pm, (no shipping or delivery).
