The Harbourfront Canoe and Kayak Centre

For over 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 three 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 daily from Victoria Day Weekend to the end of September. We all hope to see you soon and welcome you to another great year of 'excellence on the water!'

James Kowalewski, Dave & Clare Corrigan   Dave & Clare (Owners) & James (General Manager) are so happy to see the Centre further develop each year with new equipment, more staff to assist you, and most importantly more guests joining the paddling community. James is one of our great Instructors, often is seen overseeing his Kayakercise and Corporate programs, and loves making everyone feel welcome. Dave still burns the occasional burger after his group paddles, and Clare is often on the phone, doing finances, and most importantly raising 3 great kids.

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