2024 is a milestone year for the Fairway Gorge Paddling Club, marking 10 years since we first opened. We’re celebrating this first decade together – as paddlers, fitness members and volunteers – by gathering for an anniversary dinner on Friday 3 May at Don Mees Seafood Restaurant in Victoria’s Chinatown.

The 21st Nanaimo Festival is relocating to Victoria’s Gorge Waterway over the 13-14 July weekend this year to become the South Island Dragon Boat Festival.
