I'm Carly, I work with Boreal River Rescue which is based in Gracefield. We are currently offering a promotion to whitewater paddling club members and would like to extend the offer to you! We have added "Coureurs de Bois" to our club list, so all your members have to do is mention in their registration that they belong to your club with their name and we will apply the discount to their course.

Since our PR guy is out of commission, here's my message to Boreal:

"Hello Carly.

My name is Christian Gigault, I am the treasurer of the Ottawa-based kayaking club 'Coureur de Bois'. You will also find me in your records since I took a WRT certification with you a few years ago. I am due for recertification this Summer, which I would certainly like to do as well. I am also considering a WFA course as well.

You message about club discounts was forwarded to me as our PR guy is sick these days. We would definitely like to take you up on your offer. If you provide us with a Boreal logo, we will advertize it on the sponsor part of our website, as well as encourage our members to take a WRT and/or WFA.

Looking forward to hearing back from you,

--Christian Gigault

Treasurer, CdB-Ottawa"

10%. A 4-day WRT course is 600$, 340$ for the 2-day course. The courses are worth it.

This is what was sent to the previous PR guy a few days ago:

"Good Afternoon Paul, 

I'm Carly Klassen. I work with Boreal River Rescue. We specialize in training and consultation in whitewater and swiftwater safety and rescue. 

This Spring we are offering courses on the Gatineau river. We are also currently offering 10% off our courses for all clubs. We would be happy to include Coureurs de Bois in our club discount.

Let me know if you'd like me to customize a graphic for you to use on social media or to send out to your members.

Talk to you soon,
Carly"
