Momento by Canoe: Celebrating the Rouge
In partnership with the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA), celebration events will be hosted at Toronto’s two major rivers with national designations: the Rouge and the Humber rivers. Come and experience the natural beauty of these ancient watersheds, and learn about their human history stretching back thousands of years. Both events will offer the public a unique opportunity to paddle the rivers in a canoe, for free. Come to be inspired by the past and appreciate the natural wonders of Toronto’s nationally significant rivers.
This event will take place on August 20, 2017 between 10 am to 4 pm. Parkbus will run free shuttles to the event, leaving from 30 Carlton Street in downtown Toronto (in front of Holiday Inn Express) and Scarborough Town Center (in front of Cineplex Movie Theater). $5.00 credit card deposit is required to reserve a free seat, although several seats will be available on each departure for walk ins.
