About Us

Canoe ’26 is the Host Organizing Committee responsible for delivering two landmark international paddling events in Halifax, Canada: the ICF Junior & U23 Canoe Sprint World Championships (July 1–5, 2026) and the ICF Masters Canoe Sprint World Championships (June 25–27, 2026).

Organized in partnership with Canoe Kayak Canada (CKC) and the Atlantic Division of Canoe Kayak Canada (ADCKC), and the International Canoe Federation (ICF), Canoe '26 will welcome the next generation of emerging global canoe sprinters and the masters who have defined the sport to the iconic waters of Lake Banook, one of the most celebrated flatwater racing venues on the planet.
