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.
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 are here to facilitate your freedom on the water and explore this space. We believe in experiences over things, building community and respecting our natural world. By participating in our experiences, you are helping us in our mission to make this world a better place. Read on below...

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 reporting. We support a variety of other local initiatives that share our values and make a healthy impact on the world we share. We've recently teamed up with Swim Drink Fish and have created a community volunteer water testing program in the lagoons of the island. Results can be viewed on the Swim Guide app.
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, we strive to go as paperless as possible in our business practices and we're always looking for creative ways to be the change and inspire others to do so as well. Every season, every day we move towards bettering ourselves and our world. The Leave No Trace principles are a pillar of our programming. Whether visiting for 2 hours or 2 days, we take only pictures, and leave only bubbles.
Our staff are welcomed into a culture when they are hired are encouraged to take a pledge to not use single use plastics such as bags and straws, to use personal travel mugs when purchasing hot beverages and to carry reusable water bottles.
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.
