I started paddling before I can remember and started racing as soon as I could reach a foot board for Carleton Place Canoe Club before moving here. I competed at 4 national championships over the years and won a bronze medal with my brother in K2 at an international regatta in Italy. I’ve been coaching canoe/kayak since 2018 and this is my first year with PCKC. I’m attending Fleming College for conservation biology.n 2019, Sherra has devoted her on-water time to cheering on the Masters and helping to coach our amazing Special Olympians.
