The New 2009 boating season is here and our first Poker Run is less than 2 weeks away!

It all starts with the Team United - Firefighters Relief Run, starting from the Port of Orillia on beautiful Lake Simcoe. We have an exciting season ahead as we have currently five runs, which include an inaugural run in North Bay and a return to Lake Muskoka.

The scheduled Georgian Bay this year has been canceled due to the renovations at the Sportsman’s Inn up in Killarney which was our scheduled overnight stop is behind schedule and the lodge will not be open in time to accommodate our event. No other accommodations were available in the area.

We will be rescheduling this event for next year. Be Sure to check the website regularly for updates and further details on these upcoming events.
