Congrats Kim, Marian, and Doug!

Boughton Island Clean Up.......

Sporting Intentions would like to say a BIG thanks to everyone who came out yesterday and participated in the first annual Boughton Island clean up by Kayak day. It was a huge success with 23 keen cleaners taking part.... some walked, kayaked, canoed, and SUP'd...(Stand Up Paddle Boarded) their way around the beautiful 600 Acre Island.

A big shout out goes to Ashley Cook of the Nature Conservancy of Canada who organized this great event, and a big thumbs up to her soon to be husband Brodie Craswell for his idea of this event a few years back while kayaking around Boughton Island.


May good karma follow all of you who cleaned up this wonderful treasure!

Enjoy the outdoors this summer!
