As an organization that stewards the world's largest & most significant collection of canoes, kayaks & paddled watercraft, we have committed to honouring and sharing the cultural histories and stories within the collection in all that we do.
The Canadian Canoe Museum's new museum capital campaign has received a significant boost with a $250,000 gift from a local family.
The gift celebrates and honours the legacy of local historian, avid canoeist, and long-time friend of the Museum, Shelagh Grant, and the Grant family's involvement in the Museum since its inception.
The Canadian Canoe Museum (CCM) is honoured to announce that Her Excellency the Right Honourable Mary Simon, Governor General of Canada, has granted Viceregal Patronage to the Museum. The granting of viceregal patronage is a long-standing tradition, with governors general granting support through patronage to recognize exceptional contributions to Canadian society.
At The Canadian Canoe Museum (CCM), each watercraft carries a story of how it came into the collection. A Haida dugout canoe, housed at the Museum, has a particularly heartfelt journey.
Canadian Canoe Museum receives a $750,000 investment from FedDev Ontario towards developing exhibits for the new museum's 20,000-square-foot Exhibition Hall.
The Canadian Canoe Museum respectfully acknowledges that we are situated on the Treaty 20 Michi Saagiig territory and the traditional territory covered by the Williams Treaties First Nations. The Canadian Canoe Museum also recognizes the contributions of Indigenous Peoples including First Nations, Inuit and Métis, in shaping this community and country as a whole.
