Pierre Berton Signing Books

Canadian Author Pierre Berton once said, "A Canadian is somebody who knows how to make love in a canoe."

In 2007 the CBC held a nation-wide debate to discover what Canadians viewed as the Seven Wonders of Canada.  After much debate and a vote, the canoe was declared one of the Seven Wonders.  In celebration, the Canadian Canoe Museum declared a National Canoe Day.
This year the celebration continues.  The week of Saturday, June 15 to Sunday, June 23 is National Paddling Week.  In Haldimand County the Third Annual Day of 1000 Canoes on the Grand River will take place on Saturday, June 22.
