Press Release for immediate release
July 6, 2009

As Canada’s leading whitewater rafting and kayaking company, Wilderness Tours is taking the summer of 2009 to recognize some of Canada’s unsung heroes, the Canadian military. For every Friday throughout the summer, Wilderness Tours is offering 50% off whitewater rafting day trips to all military personnel and their families.

Joe Kowalski, rafting pioneer and founder of Wilderness Tours, is a former army officer and understands the dedication, commitment and sacrifice required to serve in the military. Wilderness Tours is showing its appreciation to these hard working service personnel by offering unprecedented savings on its Friday rafting trips. “Through teamwork and team building, with family, friends or co-workers, it’s a great way to share the magic found in whitewater!” Kowalski says.

Wilderness Tours offers high adventure rafting down the Ottawa River’s Main channel, ideal for adults and teens 13 years of age and 90 lbs as well as a more gentle family rafting program down the River’s Middle channel aimed at families whose minimum age is 7 years and weighing a minimum of 50 lbs. All trips come with all the latest safety equipment, guides and a delicious riverside barbecue lunch!
