Islands Kayaking Company is hosting two 2-hour
programs (9am and 10 am) on the morning of July
9th. The cost is $45 + GST per person and will
include your kayak and all the necessary safety
gear, professional guide and a wonderful river
experience that we're sure will have you asking
for more. To register, please call the 1000 Islands
Kayaking Company direct at 613-329-6265 and specify
the Great Waterfront Trail Adventure group. Feel
free as well to call them with any questions or
concerns you may have. After your paddle, we’ll

tour.
July
5th is Family Day on the Waterfront Trail
For 2009, we have created a new family friendly
option as a way to make the Adventure even more
accessible to families who want to experience
what the waterfront communities have to offer.
Join the tour on July 5th for a family-friendly
escorted ride from Burlington to Fort York in
Toronto. End off the day with a visit to Ontario
Place (passes included)!
The GWTA is memorable way for a family to share
a physical accomplishment, see our beautiful Great
Lake waterfront and have a great time. Click here
