The Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre

For 30 years now, we have been teaching the skills, safety, and joy of paddling to thousands of people. A canoe or kayak can take you to places you can’t get to by foot, car or motorboat, as well as being a wonderful day or evening paddle away from the rush of city life. Over two decades of focused dedication has gone into what we offer this year. Come down and learn new skills, increase your health and stamina, and meet others who like yourself, enjoy the natural side of Toronto. By using Ontario and Canada's best certification systems, we offer you the opportunity to develop safe, fun skills that will benefit you for a lifetime. We offer paddling programs, socials, & trips year-round, and our lake-side office doors are open from May 19 - Oct 1 2010. We all hope to see you soon and welcome you to another great year of 'excellence on the water!'

Erik Ogaard – Head of Our Paddling Instruction and fitness guru, and the rest of our ORCKA/Paddle Canada Certified Instructors with over 100 years teaching experience between them, are simply the nicest, most genuine and enthusiastic you will meet! Familiar faces will make sure you learn safely and comfortably, ensuring your experience becomes a healthy, lifelong, and important part of your life!
