About Edmonton River Float

We are excited to announce that Edmonton River Float is entering into its 4th season. Our home base is at Kinsmen Park down by the river near the Walterdale Bridge. This is our main customer area where they check in, purchase items and wait for the bus. From there, customers will be shuttled up to Laurie Boat Launch where additional staff will be located with all the gear and ready to assist customers with entering the river. Customers will then float down the river back to Rafters Landing where staff will be to further assist.

We think we have created one of the best new summer activities in the City of Edmonton and want to create an equally exciting experience for staff. If you would like to be part of an amazing team, love the outdoors and enjoy interacting with people, we want to hear from you.

Note, even though you are not likely to be in the river every shift, our business does operate on and around the North Saskatchewan River. It is highly recommended that you are comfortable around open water, and have swimming ability.
