KANAWA is Canada's Paddling Magazine.

 

Published by Paddle Canada, KANAWA is a full-colour, quarterly magazine (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter) with a national focus on recreational paddling of all kinds, including canoeing, sea kayaking, river kayaking and just about anything else paddle related. We are looking for articles that offer a fresh idea, topic or angle; add something to our knowledge and understanding; provide useful and appropriately detailed information; tell a previously untold story; offer gripping accounts of tripping adventures etc.

 

Do you have an interesting story to tell? Have you found a better way of doing something paddling, tripping or camping related? Have some fabulous photos from a little-known area? If so, let us know!

 

We accept queries and photographs from professional writers and photographers, as well as individuals who share a love of paddling and who possess the ability to tell a good story. Most of our stories are Canadian based, but those that aren't are considered on an individual basis.

 

Below you will find a brief summary of our current categories for submissions. For more detailed information please review the Submission Guidelines for Writers and Photographers (pdf).

 

With a wide range of articles ranging from tripping stories to book and films reviews, environmental issues, safety issues, historical tales, photo-based pieces, and outdoor skills and equipment, KANAWA offers our readers a wide diversity of subjects.
