We're spending a summer's day the best way we know how... floating down a river and chilling out in the park. We'll kick off by getting shuttled a few km up river with tubes then take a couple of hours to float down again in the refreshing water. On arriving at our final destination, Brant Park, we'll set up for a group lunch and have games to spend a lazy afternoon outside.
08:20: Those taking the van meet at the Petrocanada next to Keele Subway Station. Driving to the shuttle location? There's free parking here.
08:30: Shuttle leaves from PetroCanada at Keele Station. Please note that we leave dead on time and can't wait for latecomers.
10:00: Meet self-drivers at 119 Jennings Road - Grand River Rafting. Self-drivers - please note you'll need to be there at 10 so we have time to prepare before hitting the river.
10:30 - 13:00: Float down the Grand River, arrive in Brant Park
13:00 - 15:00: Lunch and hanging out in the park
15:00 - Start the drive back to Toronto
17:00 - Anticipated return to Keele Station
This custom map is georeferenced, meaning it will show you where you are on the map in the right software and lays out the rough path that we’ll be following. It’s opened with the Avenza app which must be downloaded and installed in advance of the adventure.
You should also download the What3words app - this makes it easy to share and find locations in the unlikely event that you get lost.
Bring a packed lunch for the picnic after our paddle and a water bottle
Sunburn - Make sure you regularly reapply a high factor sunscreen and if you burn easily, consider wearing a tshirt down the river.
Drowning - Everyone must wear a securely fitting lifejacket (provided at all times)
