Canoe England
In 2000 the British Canoe Union (BCU) federalised to become the umbrella organisation for the Home Nation Associations in Scotland (Scottish Canoe Association - SCA), Wales (Canoe Wales) and Northern Ireland (Canoe Association of Northern Ireland - CANI). In England, Canoe England was set up similarly to the other National Associations, as a division of the BCU, to support the development of canoeing specifically in England.
Despite federalisation, the BCU remains the National Governing Body for the sport of canoeing and kayaking throughout the UK, with the main purpose being to help and inspire people to engage in what it now terms 'paddlesports'. Responsible for leading and setting the overall framework for the National Associations; representing canoeing interests such as coaching and competition at UK and international level.
