Cost & Payment:

Member Cost:

$35.34/Person

Cost Includes:

Cost includes everything you need for your paddle including a 30 minute beginners lesson and a 90 minute scenic paddle down the slow-moving Humber River. Our price is based on $29.95 + HST ($3.89) + $1.50 transaction fee for a total of $35.34. (Regular price is $59.95 + HST).

Being located in a transition zone between the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest Region in the north and the Carolinian or Deciduous Forest Region in the south, the Humber contains a variety of species common to both regions. Geological processes such as glaciation, erosion, flooding, and deposition have also contributed to the natural heritage value of the Humber River watershed. On this adventure we see plant and wildlife rarely seen in the city. We often see: Canada Geese, Swans, Ducks, White Egrets, Blue Heron, Night Heron, Cormorants, many types of Raptors, Beaver, Mink, Muskrat, Deer, Fox, Coyote, Raccoon, Salmon, Trout, Carp, Bass, Catfish, and many types of Turtles.

Payment Cut Off:

Payment must be received by the TOC on Sun, Jun 30 2013.
