Easter Seals Regatta

Easter Seals Ontario is hosting the 30th Toronto Easter Seals Regatta on Saturday, July 13, 2019 at the Mimico Cruising Club. The event involves skippers from the GTA and surrounding area boating community collecting donations and boat sponsorships in support of children with physical disabilities while hosting Easter Seals kids and their families for a great day out on the water.

Each year, the event attracts nearly 50 boats, representing yacht clubs from the Golden Horseshoe of Lake Ontario, and over 300 guests. In its 29 year history, this event has raised over $4.7 million to benefit Easter Seals kids.
