Great Canadian Loop Association
The Great Canadian Loop Association is a community of boaters united by a shared passion for exploring Canada's remarkable 3,000 km freshwater cruising loop. From scenic lakes and winding rivers to historic canals and vibrant ports, the Loop connects iconic cities with charming waterfront towns across the country.
Our group exists to support and inspire members through shared experience, practical knowledge, and positive connection—so every journey is safer, richer, and more enjoyable. This is a respectful, adventure-focused community dedicated solely to the Canadian boating experience.
Fly the flag - Live the Adventure
The Great Canadian Loop Membership burgee is a simple way to show you're part of the adventure.
Flying the burgee identifies your boat as one that is cruising, or aspires to cruise the Great Canadian Loop.
Becoming a GCLA Member by purchasing a burgee helps support the growth of this community and the sharing of knowledge, stories, and encouragement along the Loop. Whether you're tied up in a quiet canal town or docked in a busy city port, the burgee is a subtle signal that you're part of something uniquely Canadian.
Fly it with pride. You've earned the adventure—or you're well on your way.
