National Canoe Day
What’s it mean to be Canadian?
Playing our national game, lacrosse? No!
Being able to catch a hockey puck with your teeth? No!
Wearing a plaid lumber jacket? No!
Saying “eh” at the end of every other sentence? No!
Paddling a canoe? Yes!
But, because you’re a canoeist, you knew that.
CBC Radio and TV conducted an extensive poll to determine the seven wonders of Canada. The canoe was one of those icons. To celebrate this realisation, the Canadian Canoe Museum initiated a National Canoe Day.
Now’s your chance, once again, to give this Canadian icon the respect it is has earned; take part in National Canoe Day!
If you are in Peterborough on the 26th of June, you and your canoe can take part in the celebration there. If you are in London, Windsor, Toronto or Yellowknife, you can take part in the celebration there (they did it last year).
You can organise your own big or small celebration—take your canoe to lunch, paddle to work, have a paddle picnic, read canoe stories, paddle with a friend, paddle with lots of friends, sing canoe songs, etc. Let your imagination guide you. To quote a running shoe, “Just do it!”
Take pictures and write a little story, for your own enjoyment—to remember the celebration. Send a picture and a short story to your Provincial/Territorial Association and the Canadian Canoe Museum.
Go to the Canadian Canoe Museum (www.canoemuseum.net) and the National Canoe Day (www.nationalcanoeday.net) web sites and see more.
Remember, that’s Friday, June 26—you and your canoe—National Canoe Day!

Canoe Ontario is a collective voice for canoeing in Ontario, which promotes the interests and supports the activities of its Affiliates. It is also the Provincial Sport Organization for canoe/kayak in Ontario, dealing with the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation (MTR) on matters related to the sport. Canoe Ontario was established in 1974 and incorporated in June 1977.
It serves as an umbrella group for three affiliated organizations:
Ontario Canoe Sprint Racing Affiliation (OCSRA)
Ontario Marathon Canoe Racing Association (OMCRA)
Whitewater Ontario (WO).
Prior to February 2000, the Ontario Recreational Canoe Association (ORCA) was also a member of Canoe Ontario.
Canoe Ontario has no direct relationship with the Canadian Canoe Association, but all three affiliates are part of CCA (OCSRA indirectly through the two CCA divisions in Ontario).
Each of the affiliations plans and executes its own programs in the areas of Athlete, Coach, Volunteer, and Participation development. Canoe Ontario consolidates the affiliate business plans into the form required for MTR submission and allocates grants received to the affiliations. The "administration" component is kept to a minimum.
Canoe Ontario assists the Affiliates with promotional activities, a common communications hub, insurance co-ordination, and fund raising.

Canoe Expo
Canoe Ontario still owns this trade show but due to lack of office and volunteer resources it has not operated recently. Canoe Ontario is seeking means to revive the show, either by revising the format, or by seeking partners.
For all inquiries about Canoe Ontario or about canoeing, contact one of the affiliates above.
