Participants will spend the weekend improving their canoeing skills, participate in cultural teachings, and more.
According to Ontario Parks, the activity “protects your joints: Paddling is a low-impact activity, which reduces the risk of wear and tear on joints compared to many other activities. Improves cardiovascular fitness: paddling is a great exercise to elevate the heart rate and improve cardiovascular health.”
Registration is limited and is based on a first-come, first-served basis and can be performed on the my.iswo.ca website.
