A free, beginner friendly paddle experience on Toronto's Humber River. Brought to you by Wilderness Union and Toronto Adventures.
About this Event


Wilderness Union, Toronto's outdoor adventure crew, is hosting a day of free events across the city to celebrate the launch of our new free, . Join us for and learn why adventure is closer than you think.
The lower Humber is a natural oasis in the heart of the city, and most Torontonians have never seen it. We'll meet at the put-in, fit you with a PFD and paddle, run a quick lesson with one of our expert guides, then pair you up on a canoe with someone new. An hour on the water spotting kingfishers, herons, and the occasional beaver, with a crew you'll likely walk away with as friends.

Suitable for beginners. 18+.

Run in partnership with Toronto Adventures.


What to wear and bring

Dress for the weather and to get a little splashed. Quick-dry clothing is your friend; jeans are not.

To wear:

  • Athletic or quick-dry layers (Toronto in May can swing from 12 to 22)
  • Closed-toe shoes that can get wet (old sneakers or water shoes, no flip flops)
  • A hat and sunglasses, with a retainer if you have one
  • Sunscreen on already

To bring:

  • Water bottle
  • Light rain jacket, just in case
  • A small towel and dry layer for after
  • Phone in a waterproof bag or sleeve if you want photos
  • ID for the waiver

We provide the canoe, paddle, PFD, and a guide who knows what they're doing.
