This event series is part of the floatable waste collaborative action in Lake Ontario and Toronto's Inner Harbour initiative. We will clean up our water and shoreline, improve our overall water literacy and work towards creating swimmable, drinkable, fishable water in Toronto!

    These events will run rain or shine, so make sure to dress appropriately for the weather! We will be providing some snacks but ask you to please bring your own reusable water bottle.
