Day of a THOUSAND Canoes

A Community Information Night will be held on

Thursday, April 7th, 2011, 5:30 - 8:00.

at the Golden Horseshoe Antique Society Parish Hall, Corner of Hwy. #54 & #9, York, ON.

A Grand Event like we have never seen before, Day of a Thousand Canoes, is planned for Saturday June 25th, 2011. This is a great opportunity for Haldimand residents, community groups and businesses to promote the Grand River and area. We all benefit from the right kind of tourist dollars spent here.

Be part of it. . . Canoes will launch in Caledonia at the fairgrounds and move down river through York to Cayuga with entertainment and event stops along the way to interact with the people and culture of Haldimand County.

Come out on April 7th, 5:30 - 8:00. Drop in anytime and tell us how you can be available to participate in a daylong festival. Spend a day outdoors. Can you paddle? Bar-B-Q? Tell historical river tales? Juggle? Sing? Dance? Let us know.
