Every weather report is calling for sunny skies and mid 20 temperatures for the next three days so you better get out there and take advantage of it.  The MEC Big Chop Summer Paddle Series runs on Thursday night down at Vanier Park and there is no better way to enjoy the sun than on the water.  The Big Chop is a 10 race series that features both a long course (7-10km) and a Little Chop (~4km).

It only costs $8 to register and your entry includes a free smokie, lemonade, and a chance to win a ton of great draw prizes.  All abilities are welcome!  Check it out at www.bigchop.ca.
