Friends,

 

It is with great sadness that we inform you that Paddle East Canoe and Kayak has made the very difficult decision that it is time to close our doors.  We are proud to have established a paddling business where our client was our number one concern. We created a place where you could come for information that could help you to make a better decision about purchasing, even if you didnÕt purchase from us.  We had created a paddling centre where you could find basic canoe and kayak instruction, on freshwater, here in the HRM as well as the opportunity to rent canoes and kayaks to paddle on Lakes Banook and Micmac.  We created an environment where you would feel comfortable simply dropping in and chatting over a coffee.  Unfortunately the economy has finally caught up with us and we are unable to continue forward in our endeavors.

 

We sincerely thank anyone who has ever ventured into our shop for stopping in to see what we were all about.  We have learned much from you and thank you for your many suggestions and well wishes.  We hope that we have returned the favour and possibly helped you out in some small way along your travels.  We have made many forever friends during this adventure and are very grateful you dropped by that first time.

 

We, of course, need to clear out our sales stock and want you to know that all retail merchandise is presently 40% off, including the boats.  We also have rental equipment stock that we are looking at selling so if you know anybody in the industry who may be interested please pass along our contact information.

 

We will be open weekly, on SaturdayÕs, from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm.  If youÕd like to drop by, but SaturdayÕs are not convenient, please call our cell at 237-4998 and weÕll be happy to set up an appointment for you.

 

To our sales customers, we are not abandoning you.  Please tuck away our cell number and do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any problems.

 

We will miss our little slice of heaven and are sorry to have to go.  Hope to see you on the water. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Tony and Jane
