K+S Potash Canada Returns as Major Sponsor for the 2026 Inlet Spring Regatta

The Inlet Spring Regatta is excited to announce the return of K+S Potash Canada as our major event sponsor for 2026! This long-time community partner has once again shown its commitment to supporting local events that bring people together in the spirit of teamwork and celebration.

“Thank you to the Nothin’ Dragon Paddling Society for inviting us back to the 2026 Inlet Spring Regatta. Our team looks forward to meeting our neighbours and celebrating community and sport on the beautiful shoreline of the Burrard Inlet. Thank you to the passionate and dedicated volunteers who make the event a success year after year!” — Paige Gignac, Community Investment Specialist, K+S Potash Canada

Since opening their state-of-the-art storage and transshipment facility in Port Moody in 2017, K+S Potash Canada has become an integral part of the local community. Their ongoing partnership with the Regatta helps make this event a highlight of the city’s spring calendar.

The 2026 Inlet Spring Regatta takes place on Saturday, April 25, featuring 200m dragon boat races in BUK boats, live music, a DJ, food trucks, local vendors, and a beer garden sponsored by Yellow Dog Brewing. As the first dragon boat event of the season, it’s a day filled with energy, sportsmanship, and community spirit.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to K+S Potash Canada for once again helping us make this event possible. Together, we’re creating an unforgettable experience for paddlers and spectators alike!
