Each year Jeremy and his family continue further down the watershed by canoe. They started 5 years ago at the Boathouse in Guelph and passed through Montreal this past summer. Jeremy will talk about the history and geography of the water ways he has travelled on with his family and Speed to Sea crew.

Join us as we explore Guelph’s river systems under pedal power. On this ride you'll get some geographic insight revealing the ancient river banks that mark the history of our Rivers' Edge. Exploring by bike is thirsty work but luckily you can reward yourself with a cold brew or two at the end of our 10 km trip.

The Guelph Youth Dance Company and the Kingsbury Music Singers combine forces to express, rejoice and honour youth contemporary dance and singing. The youth will be performing alongside the local Eramosa River in the heart of Guelph's green space.  Rain date: Saturday, June 11

Panel discussion hosted by Protect the Tract, covering topics from  Land Back, water protection, and settler responsibilities.  The panel discussion will be followed by the 'Blood and Water' documentary - A family’s story of blood, pain, trauma and truth and the healing power of water.

At this event, BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) community members are invited to join us for a paddle up the Eramosa. This is an opportunity for some people to be in a canoe for the first time, or to expand on their skill set. It is a unique opportunity to explore the rivers in a safe and welcoming space - free from judgment or discrimination.

The Cost of equipment for water sports like canoeing, kayaking, and stand-up paddle boarding can offer a barrier for many members of our community. Help facilitate water access by donating your gently used or new equipment to the Water Sport Donation Drive. We will be collecting boats, paddle boards, safety equipment (e.g. PFDs), paddles, and more. Please reach out to [email protected] if you'd like to arrange a donation drop off outside of June 19th 10am - 4pm.

Join Tamara Anderson from the Guelph Outdoor School and other volunteers as we enter the Eramosa River in search of crayfish and other aquatic creatures. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between male and female crayfish and find out how aquatic creatures help us evaluate water quality in our watershed.
