Chair Ed Hore has been kayaking around the amazing Toronto Waterfront for decades and gets a lot of questions about the best routes, where to launch, where to park, where to rent, and so on. So he recently tried his hand at an annotated Paddling Map of the waterfront that answers at least some of these questions.
Toronto is stunningly beautiful from the water. But always keep in mind it's on a Great Lake. Particularly in unsheltered areas, the Lake can get choppy and rough; weather changes can be unpredictable. Always make sure you paddle within your skill set. If in doubt take some lessons. There are introductory kayak, canoe and SUP lessons and rentals at Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre and SUP lessons and rentals at various locations across the waterfront. Have fun!
City Council may have to decide within eighteen months. The waterfront is completely different from fifty years ago; does an airport on the island still make sense? A four-briefing note on where things stand.
We held our Annual General Meeting on December 12, 2023. Thanks to everyone who attended.
Ed Hore gave an overview of what's been happening. Here's the written version.
