Other ways to get involved

Spend the day on the Don
Paddle, walk or bike the Don on Sunday May 2nd

There are lots of other fun activities for Don watershed supporters to take part in on May 2nd. Come and discover all that the Don has to offer, whatever your mode of transportation might be!

‘Pedal’ your way down the Don

Pedal the Don
Start at the CNIB parking lot, on Bayview Avenue north of Eglinton Avenue
May 2nd, 10am - 12pm

Cycle the trail along the Lower Don River to the Paddle the Don Landing Part at the Waterfront. John Wilson, chair of the Task Force to Bring Back the Don, assisted by the U of T Mountain Biking Team and friends, will lead a bicycle tour, running parallel to the Paddle. This gentle bike hike will stop at various locations to view the high-points of Don River restoration efforts, to share stories and to look at how connected and accessible the Don trails are and could become.

The event is free, but registration is required.
