Duffins Creek drains into the north shore of Lake Ontario and connects communities across Durham Region and York Region, including Pickering, Ajax, Markham, Whitchurch-Stouffville, and Uxbridge. The Duffins is one of the healthiest watersheds in the Greater Toronto Area.
Claremont Nature Centre is located on a beautiful 160-hectare property in the Durham Region. The pristine Duffins Creek runs through the property flanked by valley slopes of mixed woodland and open meadows. The Centre itself is a hub of activity that houses visiting schools, camps, girl guides and scouts, and other community groups of all ages, providing nature-based education programs for all!
