Information Canoe Kayak Nova Scotia (CKNS) is a non-profit society that fosters the growth and development of safe and environmentally responsible, recreational stand up paddle boarding, canoeing and kayaking in Nova Scotia: through training, promotion, advocacy and stewardship. 
 
CKNS is the official voice of recreational canoeing and kayaking in the province.

Route maintenance, 
Recreational area and environmental protection through advocacy, and 
Promotion through displays and event hosting.
