  • A Case Study of the Ottawa Valley Whitewater Rafting Industry
    A Case Study of the Ottawa Valley Whitewater Rafting Industry: Standards and Risk Management Ryan A. Howard, HBOR, BA Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Health Sciences (Leisure Studies) Supervisor: Timothy S. O'Connell, PhD Faculty of Applied Health Sciences,, Brock University St. Catharines, Ontario _ Ryan A. Howard © June 2009 ii Abstract This qualitative case study identifies and discusses the standards and risk management practices of the Ottawa Valley whitewater rafting industry and the impacts of the government enforced Special-purpose Vessels Regulations are discussed. Data collection occurred using a single case study design, which included interviews and document analysis. This study found that internal, industry, and actual standards are influenced through a variety of sources. These standards were found to affect the risk management practices of commercial whitewater rafting providers. In general, these standards promoted a high level of risk management within the Ottawa Valley rafting industry. The Special-purpose Vessels Regulations were found to be non-influential in raising the risk management standards of the Ottawa Valley whitewater rafting industry. iii Acknowledgements Grateful acknowledgement is due to the people who have helped me in the process of researching, writing, and revising the following pages. Most importantly, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Tim 0' Connell for his patience and dedication throughout this process. Without his commitment to this research and my writing, the following pages would be blank. Thank you, Tim, for keeping my pen to the paper and the microbrew cold. My sincerest thanks go to my committee members Dr.

  • Canoeing 101 from Shenandoah River Adventures
    Canoeing 101 from Shenandoah River Adventures ShenandoahRiverAdventures.com How to Dress for Canoeing When you head out for a canoe trip, remember that wearing the proper clothing is critical if you want to be safe, somewhat dry and comfortable. The following steps provide guidance for planning and selecting appropriate attire for your canoeing activity. Plan what you'll wear around your location and the weather conditions. In warm weather, as long at the water is relatively warm, you can wear shorts or quick-dry pants with a T-shirt. It's wise to bring a long-sleeved shirt, even in warm weather, in case you need protection from bugs. Dress for comfort when you're planning to canoe in a raging river or in colder weather. Dress to protect you from cold water, because there is a lot of splashing and spray on a canoe trip and hypothermia can plague paddlers who aren't careful. Put on a base layer of clothing, the layer closest to your skin, using fabrics that will retain very little water if you get wet. Good fabrics for this layer can include polyester or silk. Cotton clothes should be avoided at all costs. Follow the base layer with a layer that adds warmth. Wool or fleece will insulate you from the cold. You will need warmth and wind proofing. Wear jackets and pants as your outside layer, In particularly cold weather or if you're going to meet up with whitewater, you might want to purchase or rent a completely sealed dry suit, which will seal out the water.
