Sydenham Lake Canoe Club’s Coach’s Junior Sprint Canoeist, Cia Myles-Gonzalez, who trains in Sydenham and paddles for Balmy Beach Canoe Club, and Midget Sprint Kayaker, Genevieve L’Abbe, who now paddles for Ottawa River Canoe Club (ORCC), both qualified to paddle at the National Championships in Regina, Saskatchewan next week. Both paddlers had a very good season leading up to the Ontario Championships. At the Ontario Championship Regatta in Ottawa, both girls proved that Sydenham produces strong women. A very versatile Myles Gonzalez won a gold medal in both the C2 200m and 500m, and the C4 500m. She won a silver in the K2 200m and a bronze in the C1 500m. L’Abbe won a gold in the K1 200m and 500m and K2 500m, and a silver in the U19 K4 500m.
