FRANKLIN ISLAND

This is a weekend for experienced TOC paddlers who are nature enthusiasts and serious about wildlife photography. Franklin Island is a picturesque spot on Georgian Bay with spectacular sunsets! We will camp Friday night at Killbear Provincial Park and pick up our canoes early Sat am. Sat night we will camp on crown land, so you must be a Canadian resident.

This trip is not for beginners with minimal paddling experience or people who cannot swim well without a pfd. it is your responsibility to make sure you comply with the requirements for this event when you sign up. We may be paddling in rough choppy water, with associated risks so you must be ok with putting safety first.

You will need to supply / rent all your own gear. Depending on interest, food may be shared. We will paddle for several hours a day..

.
Please email me the following info when you sign up...
*What canoe trips have you been on in the last year or so? ( How many days, where, etc)
*Where did you learn to canoe (do you have any ORCKA certificates etc)
*How would you rate your swimming ability without a PFD
*Have you ever practiced canoe rescues?
*What backcountry gear do you have - bag/mat//tent/stove/water purification/pack etc

If you don't send specific info you may be deleted from the event.

There will be no pre trip meeting as details will be worked out by email. Priority will go to people who have been on previous canoe trips with me OR A minimum of 5 TOC events. If I have never met you you must come out on an urban hike with me to discuss your gear etc. Participants will also be responsible for reserving their own canoes from the outfitter. Details will be emailed to participants in advance.
You do not have a spot on this event until you have paid :)

Please do not sign up if you are not a good swimmer. If your boat capsizes or you slip on rocks and fall in the water without a PDF you put yourself at risk and may endanger other members of the group.

We will observe all park rules + follow principles of Leave No Trace http://www.leavenotrace.ca/principles
