Our 2025 Season Has Started!
Make sure to wave if you see us on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa or on the Rideau River in Manotick!
This summer, our volunteer crews are delighted to welcome nearly 1,800 guests with special needs for free boat rides and fishing trips!
Did you catch us at the Ottawa Outdoor & Adventure Travel Show in April?
Once again this year, we were thrilled to promote the benefits of our free service, recruit new members, and run our ever-popular minnow race!
We welcomed almost 1,600 guests across our three locations in the Ottawa area.
Thanks to all our volunteer crews of captains and mates!
We look forward to taking even more groups of people with special needs on the water in 2025.
See you next summer!
FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT!
We thank the Ontario Trillium Foundation
for their generous support.
The grant we received in 2024, will allow us to refurbish one of our boats during the off-season. In addition to increased space capacity, this will provide a more comfortable experience to our guests.
We thank the Ottawa Community Foundation
for their generous support.
The grant we received in 2024 will allow us to purchase new nautical and safety equipment. This will ensure that our boats continue to provide a pleasant and safe experience to our guests.
In 2023, we welcomed more than 1,500 guests!
We thank all the community groups that booked more than 200 trips at our three Ottawa-area locations. Our volunteer crews were delighted to serve you. We look forward to having you on board again next summer.
If you enjoyed your trip, spread the word. We are always happy to meet new groups and introduce more people to the joys of being on the water.
In 2022, we were in the news!
