The Toronto Islands actually consist of 14 islands and is the only archipelago in Western Lake Ontario. The Toronto Region Conservation Authority has denoted 6 zones here as Environmentally Significant Areas which means there is plenty of nature to explore and get lost in. All of the beaches on the South shore are Blue Flag certified which means they pass tests for water quality and maintenance. In fact, they consistently come up as Toronto's cleanest. If the water at Wards Beach is too choppy, no worries. We're lucky that our primary launch area at Algonquin Bridge has access to calm water in the inner lagoons with great views of the city. Lake Ontario is a huge and majestic wilderness and as a system, the Great Lakes are the largest reservoir of fresh water in the world. The island acts much the same as a reef would by attracting many important species of fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, insects and of course people.
We operate every day of the week. It's best to book ahead of time since we setup on location each day.

EDUCATION AND ACTION
We have built a culture of respect for our community and nature and believe strongly that to make this world a better place, it takes small everyday actions from everyone. When we set up for the day we keep our shorelines clean by picking up trash. Not only do we pick it up daily, but we encourage our guests to as well while they're out paddling. Of course it doesn't stop there. We can pick up trash all day long but if we don't go to the source, little will change. That's why we enjoy educating people on the natural world on the steps of Toronto in our Eco-Tours, kids programs, retreats and speaking series. We also partner on community events with various organisations such as the Lake Ontario Waterkeeper to help educate the public on water quality and to build a list of recreational water users. We support a variety of other local initiatives that share our values and make a healthy impact on the environment.
Every season, every day we move towards bettering ourselves and our world. We use an electric vehicle to transport our pop-up shop and leave the area better than we found it, our marketing collateral is made from 100% recycled materials and we're always looking for creative ways to be the change and inspire and empower others to do so as well.
The more we enjoy our natural world and see it as integrated with our society, the more we respect and protect it and each other.
