Visit the Canoe Museum this Summer!

Posted in Businesses in Bethany, tagged , , , , on July 20, 2016| Leave a Comment »

Located just a short drive from Bethany, the Canadian Canoe Museum is located in Peterborough.

“The Canadian Canoe Museum is a unique national heritage centre that explores the canoe’s enduring significance to the peoples of Canada, through an exceptional collection of canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft.”

The Museum is engaging, interactive and family-friendly with more than 100 canoes and kayaks on display. The entire collection totals more than 600 artifacts and now includes examples of paddled watercraft from as far away as Paraguay and the Amazon, expanding the museum to include an International collection.

The display includes the great dugouts of the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest to the singular bark canoes of the Beothuk of Newfoundland; from the skin-on-frame kayaks of northern peoples from Baffin Island in the east to the Mackenzie River Delta in the northwest to the all-wood and canvas-covered craft manufactured by local Canadian companies.

A Recipe for a Unique Family Outing

Plan your visit to the Museum in the morning, grab a bite to eat at one of Downtown Peterborough’s cafe and then join the Voyageur Canoe Tour at the Peterborough Lift Lock!

Your family will take part in a one-of-a-kind tour, helping to paddle a 36′ Montreal canoe along the Trent-Severn Waterway and through the Peterborough Lift Lock. The experience has been created in partnership with Parks Canada, providing a great experience for people of all ages and abilities.

And the great news! No previous paddling experience is necessary, only a willingness to try new things!

Throughout the tour, you will hear stories about voyageur life and learn about the history of the waterway and how the Peterborough Lift Lock was built. As you travel through the Lift Lock you’ll gain an incredible view of the canal while learning basic paddling strokes. Your family will be working with the group to move the big canoe through the water.

Paddles and lifejackets are provided. You just need to bring a hat, water and sunscreen.

Soapstone Carving  

If you plan on being in Peterborough for July 27th, register your kids now for a Soapstone Carving Workshop. Participants 7 years and older will create a soapstone pendant using only pre-shaped stone and sandpaper, water and oil – a method inspired traditional Inuit with a lot of examples in the Museum’s collection. Register now to be sure your kids have a spot:

Soapstone Carving, Wednesday, July 27, 2016, 9:30 am to 11:30 am

Ages 7+, Cost $13.95 member/$15.50 non-member
