A tradition within Paddle Manitoba is the "President's Paddle". Special made of Birdseye Maple by Doug Ingram of Red River Canoe and Paddle, all past presidents, since 1988, have signed the paddle following their term. It is a visual reminder of the many individuals that have volunteered their time to lead the organization. A big thanks goes to them all.
