Pascal Bonnetain is the New President of the French Canoe Kayak and Paddle Sports Federation

Pascal Bonnetain is the New President of the French Canoe Kayak and Paddle Sports Federation 22.12.2024

Pascal Bonnetain was elected the new president of the French Canoe Kayak and Paddle Sports Federation (FFCK) on Saturday, 14th December, following the Elective General Assembly, with 64.67 % of the votes.


Pascal Bonnetain, a recent retiree and former director of the CREPS (Regional Centre for Physical Education and Sport) of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté for 7 years (2017-2024), a kayaker since the 1970s, and a member of the Vallon Pont D’Arc club, is the 13th president in the history of the FFCK.
 
“I would like to thank all my team members who supported me in this wonderful adventure. In a very short time, we were able to meet with actors from all the disciplines and strengthen our convictions. A big thank you to all those who placed their trust in the project I have the honour of representing. This victory obliges me, and it obliges us. In this regard, we will soon, starting at the beginning of 2025, work with a new National Technical Director, organise a Board of Directors to elect a president within it, and hold plenary sessions with the activity commissions to share our ambition and refine our proposals. I will return with more details shortly, but I also wish to organise a national forum on high-performance sports as early as next March. It is by respecting our federal programme and our public service mission, with a constant spirit of dialogue and transparency that we will succeed in further growing canoeing, kayaking, and paddle sports,” said the newly elected president Pascal Bonnetain.
