Celebrate National Canoe Day on June 26th with The Canadian Canoe Museum

June 26th was coined National Canoe Day 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. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, National Canoe Day has also been celebrated virtually.

This will be The Canadian Canoe Museum’s final National Canoe Day celebration at its current location before the museum embarks on its final “portage” to the water’s edge, where it will make its new home. For the past two years, the CCM has enjoyed expanding its celebrations online during the pandemic, allowing more paddlers to join in and connect over their passion for canoes (and the occasional kayak here and there). This year, The Canadian Canoe Museum will be celebrating virtually and in person at the Museum so that those near and far can participate.
