The Complete Paddler (Premiere)

To make the Film Festival more accessible to all attendees, The Complete Paddler is choosing to host the Premiere in house at our NEW LOCATION, over the course of three days where we will show the same winning films each night. We have loads of free overnight parking available.

The Premiere is a special event on the tour as it reveals the winners of each film category, unlike other hosts showing the festival, we only play the winners so the films will be a surprise!

We have some amazing door prizes this year included with each ticket! Door prizes will be handed out each night of the festival during intermission. We will also be offering a raffle prize this year, a brand new Prospector 15 SP3 canoe donated by The Complete Paddler and Nova Craft Canoes. The winner of the raffle prize will be announced on Monday February 24th on our website and social media pages! Raffle tickets will be sold separately for $5.00/each or $12.00 for x3 at the event or online.

One hundred percent of the night’s proceeds will be going directly to Project Canoe, a Toronto-based youth charity program which aims to foster a transformative environment for young people using the outdoors as a primary medium.

Tickets: $20/Advance. We will be selling out ahead of time so there will be no tickets left at the door. Advance tickets can be purchased at The Complete Paddler in person, over the phone (416) 255-6905, or here online. Your tickets will be waiting for you at the door if you purchase over the phone or online. Advanced tickets will be available until 1pm Thursday February 20th.

Location: The Complete Paddler, 2045 Dundas St, E. Mississauga ON, L4X 1M2

Raffle Prize: Raffle tickets can be purchased at the event or online, the raffle winner will be announced Monday February 24th on our website and social media pages.
