The late Ida Paul was born and raised in Norway House. Her paddling skills started at an early age, for that was their only transportation. Her parents rowed a skiff boat to Warrren's Landing and that gave the ambition to start competing in the events as they were held year after year. She won in canoe races, in which one of her partners was the late Johnny Walker.
She was a participant in many events particularly in the York Boat Races and Women's Canoe Races. She was a very strong competitor and has been known to win championships of both York Boat and Canoe races.
She also competed in the York Boat races for many years. We are very proud to have the Women's Canoe Race in honour of her name.
