National Treasure Tour

First the East, now the West:  Following previous 2009 events to promote The Canadian Canoe Museum in Halifax, Peterborough, Lakefield, Toronto, Guelph and London, James Raffan, Executive Director, is taking his “National Treasure: Canoes, Canada and the Wonders of The Canadian Canoe Museum” presentation west this autumn.  The purpose of the “Rivers and Mountains” portion of the tour is to bring paddlers (and others) together to celebrate the canoe as a wonder of Canada and to raise awareness and build support for The Canadian Canoe Museum, which holds a collection of 600+ canoes and kayaks and 1000+ canoeing- related artifacts and offers a unique material and cultural portrait of Canada.
