Canoe Kayak Canada is looking for individuals to join the Whitewater Council (CKC-W Council). The CKC-W will meet at least twice per year via telephone conference. The main role of the Council and its discipline standing committees is to provide technical direction of the whitewater discipline and as such it operates with a relatively high degree of autonomy on technical matters specific to the whitewater discipline.

• Whitewater Council Chair – 2 year term
• Wildwater Chair – 2 year term
• Whitewater Standing Committee Chair – 2 year term

All candidates must meet the following minimum criteria:

• Extensive knowledge of whitewater development programs and the Canadian sport system as it relates to the discipline
• Experience working on volunteer committees
• Excellent communication and leadership skills
