May Long

Well the River Rendevouz was another successful year for the Pinch'o Crow Creekers! We had a lot of new people and a lot of new faces show up and it made it into another awesome fun filled weekend.

Unfortunately it did end on a terribly sad note. There was an extremely horrific accident yesterday evening when Jaron Kooperberg ran Lundbreck Falls on the Crowsnest River. Jaron passed away doing the thing he loved. . It is a sad time for the Kayaking community, even for those who did not know Jaron, he was someone who shared the same passion we all have and it is saddening to hear that it took him away from the one's he loved.

The condolences from the kayaking community go out to Jaron's family and his friends.

This is a good reminder to all paddlers that what we do is dangerous and that we need to watch out for each other when we are out there. Things can go wrong fast no matter how experienced someone is.

I managed to track down on article from the Toronto Sun.
