Spirit of support

From the inception of the Atlantic Challenge program in Canada in 1991, an outstanding spirit of support has emerged by individuals, service clubs and corporations. We are a not-for-profit organization and will issue tax receipts for monetary or “in kind” gifts to individuals or businesses that donate to our program.

Volunteer

Volunteers contribute experience, enthusiasm and time to Atlantic Challenge Canada each year. For the past 30+ years, our network of volunteers have contributed thousands of hour each year to running our programs, promoting Atlantic Challenge in the community, repairing our wooden longboats and fundraising.
