Come Fill The Peterborough Lift Lock On National Canoe Day
This National Canoe Day (June 26th, 2016 at 1 p.m.) the Canadian Canoe Museum, Parks Canada and The Land invite you (and your canoe) to head to the Peterborough Lift Lock. There will be free lockage for everyone participating (even nearby locks if you're paddling your way to the lift lock) but please bring a canned food item to support the local community.
