The Paddling Ontario Alliance is a fusion of 20 of the most respected adventure travel providers in the province. They have set the highest standard for adventure paddling operators in the province, both in the area of safety, and environmental responsibility.

Together the Alliance is able to offer any conceivable wilderness experience, from floating in a canoe on a still lake in cottage country to shooting class III rapids 500 miles from the nearest telephone. The members also strive to share their dedication to the wilderness and its preservation with their guests. Each member is committed to providing safe wilderness experiences that excite and enlighten.

Paddling Ontario Alliance Standards

All Paddling Ontario members must meet the following minimum standards:

- Have been offering quality paddling products for at least 5 years
- Carry appropriate business insurance
- Guides are certified by ORCA, OWWA, BCU, AECSKA, or ACA
- Guides have CPR and Wilderness First Aid certification
- Offer lodge-based and/or guided packages from an established business location in Ontario
- Be licensed to operate a tourist business in Ontario

Paddling Ontario Alliance members comply with the practices as outlined in the "Alliance Environmental Practices" to ensure that clients, guides and workers leave no evidence of their travels in the wilderness.
