I understand it is suppose to be in Quebec, but can someone tell me the name of the river and what city it is located near? Also the dates? We have to put in our requests for vacation for next year ASAP and I need to know what weekend to target.

Looking forward to paddling in Quebec and getting to see all the great Canadian and New England open boaters do their magic on the water.

The race is being held in Jonquiere, Quebec. As far as I know the exact dates has not yet been set.

Those dates are great. August would be better, but anything away from 4th of July weekend makes it easier to get off. The site looks awesome. I haven't looked at a Quebec map yet to see where Cepal Jonquiere is at. The name of the river is aux sables?
