paddle $65,000 has been raised by sending people out into the lake, without a Paddle, and the Rotaract Club of North Bay – Nipissing is looking to do it again this year.

Coordinator Meaghan Byrnes says that money has been raised over the last seven years through the Up the Creek Without a PADDLE event.

She says there are more and more people who are coming out and making donations which is helping the event grow every year.
