Overview
Founded in 25 years ago in the Fall of 1985, False Creek Racing Canoe Club (FCRCC), is a non-profit, multi-disciplinary paddling club, featuring training & racing programs in the paddle sports of dragon boat, outrigger canoe and flatwater kayak/canoe. With the assistance of two part-time staff, the club is run entirely by member volunteers.
The mission of the club is to offer paddling opportunities to anyone who wishes to achieve excellence through training and racing. Please note that we do not rent or loan boats to the general public for casual paddling (see Web Links section for organizations that do) - our boats are for use only by our members and team & training/racing programs.
We operate out of two locations: Granville Island (see map), where we are able to take advantage of the change rooms, showers and sauna provided by the False Creek Community Centre; and the Burrard Marina (see map), where we keep our OC6 fleet.
