SERVICE IN OUR COMMUNITY
Each year on the 1st Saturday in May, since 1985 the Udora Leaskdale Lions Club holds their annual Canoe River Run. Sponsorship money is donated to a variety of local causes. Each year the lions club selects a different recipient for the funds.
Enjoy natural beauty, serenity, and abundant wildlife as you paddle through the central Ontario wetlands. Be sure to bring your camera, to catch the wildlife in action. The River run is 14 km long and starts from Zephyr Road in the south and ends near the falls in Pefferlaw.
