Jonathan Kitching has been posthumously awarded the Andy Jackson Award for Contribution to Access and Environment at the SCA Recognition Awards.
This award is open to those who have achieved great things working to improve or preserve access, and/or conserve the paddling environment.
This is being posthumously awarded to
Jonathan Kitching, who sadly passed away in July. Johnathan was well known to many in the paddling community for his dedicated work on the SCA Access and Environment Committees and as advisor for the River Dee - “his river”. He was also the founder of Aboyne Canoe Club.
A huge thank you to Jonathan for instigating so much positive change in his lifetime. He is greatly missed by all who knew him. You can read a full obituary for Jonathan in the October 2023 issue of
