On
Monday, March 23rd, the long-awaited building arrived at
Lock 32 Whitewater Park! We are very excited to have an area that will
provide classroom and office space, a private area for changing, and shelter
this season.
This spring Kayak Director Andy Cook prepped the site to ready for the
delivery of the building; check out some of the pictures below to see the
progress made so far!

Spring Work Parties
Now that we have the building in place, we also have a long list of
projects to work on prior to the season opener on Friday, May 1st.
Join us at one of our scheduled work parties this spring!
If you have hand tools (shovels, rakes, hedge trimmers, wheelbarrows)
that you could bring along, it would be very helpful as we currently only
have one set of everything at the Lock!
Thank you to our volunteers who participated in the Canal Clean Sweep!!
Many thanks to all who attended the first spring work parties of the
season, as part of the Canal system's Canal Clean Sweep. We had over
50 people at Lock 32 throughout the weekend and the progress made was
significant! Special
thanks to Paul Swartz and Steve Wheeler who brought along the Bobcat
to fill in and level the trench, pathway, and grounds near the
building. That was priceless!
Along with many GWC Members, Brownie Troup #213 also volunteered, picking
up trash and working hard (along with their chaperones)
spreading mulch along the course.
