Canoeing is a rapidly expanding sport with membership of CANI having doubled in the past eight years. Many people are introduced to canoeing in schools, colleges and youth programmes in Northern Ireland (estimated by CANI at 25,000 participants in 2001) and some continue with canoeing to undertake, for example, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award canoeing expeditions. Against this background, the terms of reference for the study contained in this report were as follows: to establish the current position in relation to provision of facilities for canoeing in Northern Ireland and to assess the adequacy and condition of these facilities; to assess current marketing approaches on canoeing; to assess the actual and latent demand for new opportunities across the range of canoeing disciplines; to research case studies from elsewhere of relevance to potential developments in Northern Ireland; to identify priorities for future development for canoeing together with the costs involved; and to develop practical working examples of prioritised projects at local and regional level
