Accessibility
Accessible tourism overview:
It is important to us that we provide the care our guests need – we want to make sure the meals we prepare for you will be enjoyed, and the activities we provide will be safe for you. Guest information is shared with your guide/facilitator and dietary needs go straight to our chef, Gregor. None of this information is made public.
'Free from' food:
If we know about your needs, we’ll absolutely do our best to provide for them. Over the years we have met the needs of a wide variety of dietary restrictions. It is each visitor’s responsibility to provide information on any pre-existing medical conditions, food allergies/preferences or related issues prior to participation in any program. Our meals take into account specialty food restrictions for health and personal reasons ensuring each individual’s needs are looked after when we deliver a colourful, tasteful buffet style meal. Some of our food ingredients come from our garden, but most come from local gardens and Ontario farms, this allows to create beautiful vegetarian meals.
LGBT:
Absolutely. We treat everyone with respect, and without judgement or bias. No matter your race, religion, nationality, ethnicity, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or age; you are welcome here.
Responsible Travel
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) holiday so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.
Planet
Our operations, facilities and staff aim to prove to the world that responsible travel experiences which honour our connection with the earth, local communities, local food producers can be economically viable while being vital to the health and well-being of people across the world. We see our Algonquin Park home as an oasis from this hyper-connected world, and we’ve been recognized internationally for our efforts in teaching and demonstrating ecological principles of design.Our guests appreciate our efforts at being a low carbon, sustainable, eco-friendly, responsible provider of Algonquin Park retreats and adventures.

People
Community and connection is at the core of our values at Northern Edge. We're active members of the local community in South River, Muskoka, and Algonquin Park, doing what we can to bring tourism to our region and support our neighbours through partnerships like the Explore South River Project (of which we are founding members). We do our best to create healthy relationships between visitors and our local community.We’ve contributed to the ongoing conservation of local natural areas through involvement with the local Forgotten Trails Association. We are also founding members of the Near North Locavores and host many workshops and events for the local community to participate in.
We shop local! We make socially responsible purchasing decisions, supporting local organic produce providers through a variety of partnerships that support our local community. Products around the Edge are locally created or sourced - right down to our "muskoka-style" bear chairs from 20km up the road. By coming to the Edge, you're supporting a healthy local food culture with locally grown and prepared foods. Your money goes directly into the hands of small independent local farmers and food providers. Guests dine on healthy, home cooked meals featuring local, sustainably harvested foods, and organic/fair trade foods including fresh food right out of our garden, Gregor’s garden and other local food initiatives.
We have created a close-knit working community who we see as friends & family first - employees second. We are committed to fair compensation for our team members, and we provide many opportunities for self-growth, pursuing passions, and community engagement for the team.
The Edge’s mission ‘Rediscover ourselves, empower each other, and heal the earth’ invites our guests to support a dream of personal fulfilment through caring and connecting. This mission is amplified in our work with pre-formed groups where we are able to contribute to the nourishment and community-building for all types of communities.
