Day of 1000 Canoes ~ took place on the Grand River on Saturday, June 25 (June 26th is National Canoe Day). This first-time event was an overwhelming success involving many volunteers and the co-operation of Haldimand County and the O.P.P. Co-founders, Blaine Nicholls and Shane Carmichael had a vision, "The idea of 1000 Canoes is Community ~ getting together, bringing other communities into ours and enjoying one of our greatest local resources ~ the Grand River!"
Next year's Day of 1000 Canoes is scheduled for Saturday, June 23, 2012.
