Plan Ahead for National Canoe Day
20 May
Leave it to our sensible friends to the north to honor the humble canoe with a national day of recognition. On June 26, the canoe—officially named one of Canada’s seven wonders in 2007—will be celebrated with the third annual Canadian National Canoe Day.
Last year, the Canadian Canoe Museum hosted a party in Peterborough, Ontario, as did canoeing enthusiasts in London, Windsor, Toronto, Yellowknife—even cities in the United States and the UK. Turnout was so inspiring, they’re at it again this year. The Museum has another party in the works, and organizers are encouraging citizens across Canada, the U.S. and the world to host parties of their own, creating a “citizen-driven annual celebration” of the canoe.
