ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Environmental sustainability is a shared responsibility. We strive to ensure our presence isn’t just “low impact”—we want it to be actively beneficial. By caring for the waterways we call home, we ensure that the beauty of the Humber River remains a sanctuary for all Torontonians.
Check out some of our environmental sustainability initiatives below!
SEMI ANNUAL HUMBER VALLEY CLEANUP
Twice a year, we trade our paddles for work gloves. Our Semi-Annual Humber Valley Cleanup is a community-driven event where we provide the boats and gear, and you provide the helping hands. Together, we’ve removed tons of debris, keeping our local ecosystem thriving and beautiful.
HYDRATION WITHOUT THE WASTE
Stay hydrated, stay green. We provide free, chilled water at all our events—all you need is a reusable bottle. Forgot yours? We carry industry-standard Nalgene bottles on-site so you can ditch the single-use plastic for good.
DAILY SITEWIDE CLEANUP AND HELPFUL GUIDES
Our staff don’t just lead tours; they act as stewards of the river. From daily site-wide sweeps for litter to educating guests on “Leave No Trace” paddling, our team is dedicated to preserving the “slice of nature” we’ve helped restore over the last 20 years.
INSPIRING THE NEXT GENERATION OF STEWARDS
For over 20 years, we’ve seen the Humber River transform from a hidden gem into a vibrant community hub. We believe that when people fall in love with the water, they naturally want to protect it. Our guides don’t just teach you how to paddle; they share the history and ecology of our local waterways, turning every rental into a lesson in environmental appreciation. By connecting tens of thousands of Torontonians to nature each year, we’re building a community that values and defends our green spaces.
