Best Practices for Serving the Tasmanian Paddling Community

Delivering relevant and current services to the Tasmanian paddling community requires a deep understanding of its diverse members and their unique needs. Key areas to address include the variety of paddling crafts, activities, venues, and the demographics of paddlers, such as age and ability. Adaptable programming, including Canoe Education Weekends and specialized courses for different craft, is vital. Anticipating and responding to the evolving requirements of both seasoned and emerging paddlers, particularly in remote areas, ensures inclusivity and safety for all.
