Telford Lake Paddling Venue
The City of Leduc will have a truly unique and impressive sport and recreation venue unequalled in Canada. The beauty of the natural environment surrounding the Telford Lake adds to the appeal for the lake as a paddling facility.
The Telford Lake Alberta Training Centre Society (TLATCS) has prepared a business plan to work with the City of Leduc to develop and operate a regional training centre designed to meet the needs of a wide range of paddling groups including rowing, canoe/kayak and Dragon boating. The objectives for developing the facility include the creation of a centre for growing the various paddling sports, to provide teaching, learning and training opportunities for paddlers of all abilities and a place to host local, regional, provincial and even national events.
