Happy National Canoe Day 2019!
It’s National Canoe Day! A perfect way to celebrate the canoe, its history and its link to the outdoors. National Canoe Day was coined by The Canadian Canoe Museum following a CBC campaign that in 2007, declared the canoe one of the Seven Wonders of Canada. Ever since, and in many ways – from proclamations to paddling parties – Canadians have connected and shared their affinity for canoes and more significantly, the stories they carry.
“The idea of the canoe is such a simple one. But it’s never just that; it’s a vessel that carries stories, it’s a connection to the environment around us and it’s an expression of cultural and geographic diversity across this country. The canoe can be a guide, offering us new ways to learn from each other.”
The Canadian Canoe Museum (located in Peterborough, Ontario) is celebrating by offering…
Half-price adult, senior and family admission
Free 45-minute tours (included with admission) at 10:30 am and 2:30 pm
20% discount in the Tumblehome Shop
