CDHS May Social

Join us on May 26, 2026, for a guided tour of the Canadian Canoe Museum!

Set against the stunning backdrop of Little Lake in Peterborough, Ontario, this fully accessible, $45-million, 65,000‑square‑foot facility is home to the world’s largest collection of canoes, kayaks, and other paddled watercraft.

The museum cares for more than 650 vessels, with over 100 on display, showcasing rich cultural and historical traditions from across Canada and around the world.

Following the guided tour, you’re invited to explore the museum’s 5‑acre waterfront property. With 1,200 feet of shoreline, docks, boardwalks, and beautifully restored natural spaces, the site offers ample opportunities to relax or enjoy outdoor activities on both land and water.

Charges for our May Social, including the guided tour, are: $37 for seniors (65+) or $41 for adults under 65. Lunch is additional. Tickets may be purchased by eTransfer to cdhscobourg@gmail.com. Payment deadline is May 14, 2026.

We will meet at the museum on May 26, 2026 at 10:00 am. For travel directions, visit this link…
