about this site

This site is designed, programmed and maintained by Doug Gifford. Its contents are copyright © Douglas Gifford 2000. These materials are intended for the promotion of Canadian style-paddling and canoe dance and may be redistributed for free provided credit is given.

Aside from teaching paddling, Doug Gifford is a web, print, and multi-media designer and programmer. And full-time dad.

Other canoe-related sites I have designed are:

Bearwood Canoes
This site won the Médaille d'Or for web site exellence. Their comments: “A nice clean look and feel characterize this interesting and effective site promoting the canoes produced by Bearwood Canoes, a Canadian canoe manufacturer.”

Wooden Canoe Builders’ Guild
Another Médaille d'Or winner: “Just occasionally you trip over a Web site that covers some aspect of human activity you'd never thought about. This attractive site gives a description of the work and membership of the Wooden Canoe Builders Guild.”

Some other sites are listed at my sampler page at http://home.cogeco.ca/~dgifford1/

I prefer to work for educational and outdoor-oriented organisations and for crafts-people of all kinds. If you have a site you want designed or refurbished, contact me at douglasgifford@cogeco.ca or call (613) 382-8922
