WLUKA runs whitewater preparation courses in the Laurier pool throughout the year and during the summer, leads canoe and kayak trips down the Gull River, the Ottawa Fiver and Elora Gorge. On all trips, WLUKA follows Leave No Trace Principles taking particular consideration to destroy fire pits, avoid taking branches from trees when making fires, and collecting all liter.
