Our New Home in Paris, Ontario

Hi everyone…

We have some exciting news to share with you, Treks in the Wild has a new home! You heard right, we will be moving into our new location in Paris, Ontario over the next couple of weeks and we couldn’t be more pleased.

We have taken up residence in the Syl Apps Community Centre at 51 William, Paris, ON N3L 1L2 for the 2012 canoe & kayak season. We are very excited about this new location because it will allow us to better serve our customers. We are just minutes from the the main access points for the Grand River and the location features ample parking, a rental counter accessible from the main lobby and indoor washroom facilities. What does this mean for our customers? Convenience!

We will be taking some time over the next few weeks to put up some signage, settle in and make the space our own. We hope that once we have, you will all come and check out our new digs!

Services we will offer from Syl Apps Community Centre:

• Grand River Canoe Rentals
• Grand River Kayak Rentals
• Guided Canoe Trips & Kayak Trips
• Photography Workshops by Canoe
• Our Scout, Guide and School Trips
• Mountain Bike Rentals

…and soon to be announced – Canoeing Yoga Trips!

 
 
You will also be able to come by and find out more information about our Wild Edible Plant Hikes, Primitive Fire Starting Workshops and our Backcountry Canoe Trips to Northern Ontario.

Oh, and to all of you Paris small business owners, we’ll be in to visit you soon. We want to really promote the community and look forward to introducing ourselves to all of our new neighbours!

Growing Is Forever

Growing Forever is a video we find very inspirational. Shot by Jesse Rosten, we posted this video as we feel that it really encapsulates a deep love and respect that we at Treks In The Wild have for the natural World around us.
